Your First Swim Class

Dear Scarlett,

Today was your first swim class in Saratoga Springs, NY. You did a great job! You were the youngest in your class at 8 months. The first thing they teach the babies are to hold onto the edge of the pool and have the parents let go. You were the only one to successfully hold onto the edge while I let go! What a good job, especially since you are the youngest!

You loved the water. You splashed around in it the entire time. At swim class, you sang songs, played with water froggies, used the water slide and played some water games. You swallowed a little bit of water from your super large splashes, but that didn't stop you. You didn't cry once. Although you did watch, in concern, as some of the other babies cried. My little baby is getting so big! :( 

Daddy was sad that he missed your first swim class but he is hard at work for us. I sent Daddy this pic from my phone. He is excited to come watch you in open swim on the weekends. 

I'm so proud of you Scarlett! You did a great job and I'm excited to go to these classes for the next few weeks! More water pics to come :)




Love,  Mommy
