Davis and I took our first baby swim lesson on Saturday. Dad watched from the stands with the camera (pictures hopefully coming soon). Davis had a blast, except for the couple of times he swallowed some water unexpectedly. We started out getting used to the water and then we had an opening song with some splashing. The two lessons for the day were reaching and kicking. I was talking to another Dad and his daughter Katie when they put the toys in the water that the babies were supposed to reach after. Katie and her mom, Megan, were in our first Mom's group. When I looked down, Davis was already chewing on a rubber duck, and I didn't even know they had put the toys in the water! Guess all that reaching for rubber ducks in the bathtub really paid off. He was a natural at kicking too! I wonder if he remembers swimming from when I was pregnant. There were a few times I could really feel him doing flips, swimming was one of them. In fact, it was when I was swimming that I felt him move for the very first time. I think John and I are both hoping he enjoys swimming as much as I do, since John greatly dislikes it. We're looking forward to the next lesson, although, they are not allowing spectators until the last swim class, so it will be just Davis and me.
Saturday afternoon we got to see a bunch of cycling friends at a bbq, which was really nice. Unfortunately, John came down with a sore throat that night, so we had to cancel some brunch plans for Sunday and we opted for a solitary walk as opposed to a kids' Halloween party to keep from getting anyone else sick. It seems his tough immune system is keeping the cold to a minimum since his only symptom has been a sore throat and it bothers him mostly in the mornings.
