The Wet Pollywiggle

Alexander's scheduled February Swim Lessons got off to a slow start. The first lesson was canceled after ten inches of snow. And the second was postponed after Mama bought plane tickets to Mardi Gras.

But today Papa & Zander finally dove in! Well, Z kinda toddled around the deck for a while watching the older kids tied up with noodles. Then he tickled his big toe in the shallow end for a while and finally crawled down to the second step. The babe couldn't wiggle around it anymore, it was time to swim.

Zander was the littlest pollywog, so he didn't always follow along with the kicking, splashing, jumping & blowing, but he did great for being so young. After multiple bath time breakdowns with Baby Galya, we were pretty happy with Zander's tearless success...

Lessons are only 1x week, but hopefully Mama will break the snowy boredom a few snowy mornings or meet Papa after work for a quick splashdown.
