Delilah Learns to Swim
For the past two weeks I’ve been taking Delilah to morning swim lessons. She goes to a well known local training center called “The Water Whisperer." The goal of the program is that after ten straight days of 20 minute lessons that the child should be able to get in/out of the water and dive to the bottom to pick stuff up.
It all sounded pretty ambitious but were in not for a scheduling snafu ("oversleeping”) she was basically there by the end. While I am not sure how much Delilah loved swimming we learned she was very comfortable in the water (which is good.) In addition, we also learned that she needs to be able to lounge around for awhile after waking up - otherwise you get a very unhappy baby.
