Water Baby

I know I don't get on the blog and type much, but the other day as I was giving Drew a bath I thought all he has is his daddy's point of view of his life and I should start giving my two cents. Not that I don't agree with Chris, because 99% of the time I do. :)

The big news this week in our life is we started swimming classes. We are in a class with four other people, all of us teachers from Central Grade. Our class is at the Grand Traverse Pavilions in their therapy pool. The pool deck is 94 degrees and the water is just as warm. Going into this class we thought Drew would love it and have a great time, because he loved being in the lake this summer. So, imagine our surprise when he just laid back in our arms and took the whole thing in. No smiling, no fussing just watching the world around him. Makes me think he is going to be a great observer. The class was fun we sang songs and pulled our children around the pool. Toward the end of class we set them on the side of the pool and pulled them into the water. Now my little dare devil of a son decided he liked that part and wasn't going to wait for us, but instead fall forward so we could catch him. Thankfully for him we were ready. I think he gets the falling and catching from when daddy throws him on the couch and lets him fall to the floor where daddy is waiting to catch him. Anyway, swimming was fun and we go again next week. We will get pictures of this experience and post them soon.
