Swimming Class

Xander and I recently completed a 4week 8 session mommy and me swimming class at the Kettering Rec. We both had a great time and I'm a little sad it is over. We took the class with my cousin, Heather, and her son, Cooper. Basically the babies practiced "jumping" in the water, laying on their backs, swimming towards an object, kicking, going to another person in the water, and going under water. Xander liked the tiny slide the best.

You had to toss the plastic egg and have them "swim" to it.

Xander loved all his birthday "baboons" (as he calls them). He liked carrying them around. Opening gifts (Jack is checking it out). I forgot what gift it was, but Jack said, "Ohh that is nice."

When you push its hand it says, "Hi I'm Xander Xylophone."

Jason found this blow up ball pit/soccer field in the clearance section of Target probably 4-5 months ago ($11.48!). We finally blew it up and gave it to Xander for his B-day. The kids liked it.
