Swim Lessons!!

Naomi had her first swim lesson yesterday!  She did great!  I was a tad worried because when we brought the slip n' slide out a few weeks ago she was genuinely scared of it.  Like running away screaming, and not in an "I'm having so much fun!" way.  2 weeks later and she's more comfortable running on it and standing in the water.  I find it odd because last summer she was all about hanging out in the little pool at the end.  She'd camp out there for a long time!  Anywho, this reaction to the slip n' slide had me nervous that she was going to be a fussy water baby.  We arrived a little early and I watched another little girl, probably the same age as Naomi, cry the entire time she was in the pool.  She went as far as attempting to climb out and escape several times.  Poor thing.  I didn't want Naomi to hate the pool.  Please don't let her be that kid.  Naomi showed promise…she went right to the steps and got in the water with the instructor (Pamela - awwwww, first swim teacher).  I got in and HOLY SH*T it was freezing!  Seriously??!!  Who would turn off the heater before a bunch of babies had swim class?  Ugh.  Well we got past it and Naomi held on the the bar bell, went "under" the bridge, kicked a bit, monkey walked on the wall, went under water (!) and sang songs.  Aside from the blue lips and shivers she had a great time!  Looking forward to next week!  Hope the heater is turned on!
