September 15th: Bean's Busy Day

Today Bean went swimming twice. Normally we go once a week, but today we had our first swim lesson AND Nina-Simone's first birthday party. So at 10 AM Liam and Daddy jumped into the pool at the YMCA and then at 1PM, Liam and I explored the new Federal Way Community Center pool.

The swim lesson focused on getting used to the water. They played some baby games, like ring-around-the-rosie. Liam adored his morning swim with Daddy! I worried that he might be too tired to swim at the birthday party. Luckily he slept between the two swimming adventures, so he was ready to go once we hit the pool for the second time. We walked through the water (1.5-2 feet deep), sat in the shallow part (a few inches deep) and played in the various water toys at the spray playground. Someday he'll try the lazy river and the water slide, but not just yet.
