Marlins and Minnows part I

My eyes are droopy as I type this quick post. Tonight's first water class was enjoyable and exhausting. Hudson didn't even make it out of Mooresville before he was snoozing. We got home, I took this picture and woke him up, we went inside and he ate literally five bites of food and was rubbing his eyes out. We went straight to pajamas and bottle and he was off to sleep.
Marlins (parents) and minnows (babies) water awareness classes are held in the very warm (88 degrees) physical rehab pool at St. Francis Hospital M'ville. The class had six babies (four boys, two girls) plus parents. It only cost $45 for six one hour sessions--and that includes the swim diapers. There was really not any structure, just open pool time, which was fine by me. There were a ton of water toys available and Hudson was completely amused the whole time. Our favorite toy was this floating tube of sorts that held him on one end and me up on the other, face to face. As always, he was the smiliest, friendliest kid in the pack. And it turns out, he is quite the little water dancer. They were playing silly songs like "The Chicken Dance" and "The Name Game" and I would put him up on the side of the pool and he would wiggle, wiggle, wiggle to the beat. He rode around on a boogie board and danced on that too. Everyone was laughing.

So, we are anxiously awaiting next week's class. I will bring a camera and try to get some new shots to post.
