Swim Class!

 When AJ was 1 month old I signed him up for swim class with Bubbles to Butterflies, the same place that Cioci Kimmy takes her girls.  The class wouldn't start until he was 8 1/2 months old and it seemed like it was forever away.  But fast forward to this morning and it was the start of swimming lessons already!  We made our way to the AmericInn in Griswold in the morning and met up with Babcia and Dziadzi and Grandma and Grandpa (who missed golf for this momentous occasion!) who were going to watch AJ and I in the pool.  We also met up with Cioci Kimmy, Uncle Jason, Katie and Allie too since both of the girls had class at the same time as AJ.  In fact, Allie and AJ are in the same class! YAY!  We got AJ dressed into his super cute swim trunks and shirt and off we went into the pool.  It was a little bit on the chilly side but AJ didn't seem to mind, however, Allie did.  You'll see in the pictures below how upset and chilly she was...poor thing! Our teacher is Miss Laura and she is so good with the little ones!  Our first class consisted of swaying AJ in the pool to get him used to the water, back floats, learning how to kick his legs, swimming towards an object and grabbing it and Mommy blowing bubbles in the water to show AJ how comfortable I am in the water.  AJ seemed to love the entire class which we figured he would since he absolutely LOVES his baths and being in the water.  We can't wait for our next one!

Oh.. as an added bonus, AJ's friend Dexter and his mommy Julie are in our class as well.  Yay for friends in swim class!

See.. I told you Allie didn't like the cold water!

Kick those legs little man!

He loves swimming already!

As a sidenote - yes, Cioci Kimmy and I wore the exact same swim suit.  You can be sure we will be calling each other from now one to make sure that doesn't happen again!  Silly sisters!
