Swimming Lessons

As some of you may know, I signed Addison up for swimming lessons here at SVSU.  It is a 3 week class, meeting only once a week for about a 1/2 hour.  I got a $5 discount for paying early and another $5 for working at SVSU, gotta love that.  She had her 2nd class last night and daddy was able to go with us this time, so we actually got some pictures.  She loves the water, but her biggest problem is that it is cold.  She shivers and by the end has little purple lips.  She even does well with us dunking her under the water.  Not really fond of it, but tollerates it.  She is actually the only baby in the class, so we basically have our own instructor.  She has Addie play with toys in the water, try to hang on to the edge of the pool all by herself(which she can do), sit on the edge and then fall/lunge into the water into my arms(while singing humpty dumpty), and trying to float on her back and fliping over to her tummy(like a pancake, there's a song for that too).  I'm so proud of her!!

That is so cute! I want to get Logan swim lessons too but was waiting for the right time. She is adorable! Dean said we should do them at SVSU...I wonder if students get a discount...hmmm! :)

Dean, I believe you would get the $5 off for being an SVSU student, and if you pay the Friday before another $5 off, so I only paid $15. They start babies as early as 6 months. Here's the website with classes and info, http://svsu.edu/vap.

Kara, I got her suit off the clearance rack at baby gap last year. :)

svsu's pool is freezing! The Y keeps their kid's pool heated to like 84 degrees and the kids don't get so cold. By the way, tell Dean that i love his farmer's tan!
