"swimming" class at the neighborhood YMCA, and this week was the first session -- and Holden LOVED IT! I was much more nervous than he was, especially our entrance into the pool (another 'first' for Holden). I didn't know how he was going to react to the pool, which is slightly larger than his baby bathtub. Pretty much as soon as his bottom half was fully underwater, he began to kick away. The other children in the class are mostly twice Holden's age, so he was truly the 'baby' of the class ... but he did such a great job considering he had never been in a pool before. And no crying or fussing at all.During the class, we sang some songs, got to move around in the water a lot, chased after some water toys, and Holden got to go down the baby waterslide (assisted by the instructor and daddy, of course). The class time was over before we knew it, and Holden and I are ready for Week #2. I just hope he can refrain from drinking the pool water next week (ugh).
