Starfish Squad

For a few weeks now I have been able to take Macie to Swimming Lessons. Our group is called the starfish. Ages range from 6-14 months. Macie loves the water, and has been enjoying spending 1/2 hour at the pool every Saturday. We sing songs and play in the water, and try to get more comfortable getting our heads wet and floating on our backs and stomachs. As a dad this has been a real joy. We have a lot of fun. I think her favorite is watching the other babies and hearing us all sing, even though we are so out of tune. My favorite part, aside from the 5-10 min in the hot tub, is being there with Macie.  We sing  "tiny Tim the turtle" "the Grand ole Duke of York" "Hokey Pokey" "5 Green & Speckled Frogs" "Alice the Camel" and we play "what time is it Mr Shark" "fish in the net"

I may have missed some.  I know Macie will not remember doing any of this, but for me I am glad to spend some time with her, and play with her, and dunk her.
Today she got her very first report card. As you can see, she is a great student.
