Cooling off

Doesn't looking at this picture make you feel cooler?

Sadie is a little water baby these days. She's loving her baby pool and taking nice long baths after a sweaty day. She's also taking swimming lessons twice a week with her friend Clayton and some other nice babies. Sadie loves most of the activities; kickboards, pool noodles, jumping into Mommy's arms, kicking her legs, front floating. She's not a big fan of back floating, which I think reminds her of lying on her back, which she also doesn't like much. Sadie has mixed feelings about raft play, where the babies are supposed to lay on their bellies on rafts. For Sadie, being on her belly means crawling, so that's what she tries to do and often ends up crawling right off the raft. No big deal though, she loves to be wet!

Swimming lessons make Sadie tired. After her lesson, she often falls asleep in the locker room and comes home and takes a 2 hour nap. That means Mommy gets to do her own thing for 2 hours! Hooray for swimming lessons.
