We enrolled missy moo into a babies swimming class at the local aquatic centre. This particular class is for infant aged 6 - 9 months and it goes for 10 sessions, once a week on the weekend.
Hubby usually goes into the pool with her as its their bonding time. I must say its very entertaining and funny watching babies in the pool. They just simply love the water! I was on the sideline watching on like a proud mummy and noticed that all the other babies were so happy in the water. Giggling and splashing their tiny hands against the ripple, squealing in delight. Happy days.
The class is catered to a group of 8 babies. They generally sing nursery rythmns while swishing and swashing in the water. The instructor will take out toys and let them float about in the water and parents would then 'make' the baby swim towards them. Floats were also taken out and babies will cling onto them while the parent would walk them in circle singing a song.
I think it's a pretty awesome that they have this sort of activity for young babies. We are definitely signing her up for the next semester but will be at another aquatic centre near our new home since we are moving next weekend.
Hope the moving is going smoothly and you guys missed the wild weather.
ReplyDeleteThe swim classes are fantastic. Peanut loves her swim classes too but we're going to give it a miss next term till the weather is warmer.
Hey Hun, we actually moved on that wild weather Sunday! Thankfully it was ok buy it sure as hell was horrible! We stopped going to swimming last week as her term has finished. Might start the next term probably in spring.. Like you said too cold now.. Hope peanut and jellybean are well! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThat was some crazy weather that weekend, we went past some of the houses the other day and it was unreal.
ReplyDeleteStay warm! It could be babybrain but I'm finding this winter colder so far.
