Splish Splash - Lomie's 1st Swim Class

So today was Lomie's first (official) swim class! Yes, I have tried to teach her to swim but I guess I was not successful enough, so Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to swim class we go. First we had to go shopping for a swim suit. And if you know Lomie (AKA the Diva Dancer) one was not enough and we had to coordinate with matching shorts. So we went to Wally's World. I had a one track mind when we went in. No stopping by the baking asile, no going past the ribbons, no going by the bakery for a donut!

So this is the first swim suit. Yes we bought two!

Notice the shorts. She really did not want to take a picture, she was shy girl today! "Attention boys and girls! When you hear the whistle go stand by your assigned teacher".

While all the other little swimmers walked by themselves, she needed Mommy to walk her over to her sign. So it was my chance to snap another picture! She is in Ms. Michelle's class. Who is very sweet by the way and will be getting a goodie package at the end of the lessons. Guess what she is getting - I'm thining cupcake pops in blue.

We were very timid to get into the water. So we stuck our feet in first. Then she became a Rocket, then a chicken. Don't ask me! I was taught to swim by just jumping into the deep end of the pool and doggie paddle to the side! However, I can swim like a fish! No make that a Baywatch Babe!

Yeah, right! Last year at the twins Back Yard Beach Bash birthday party, I had to dive into the pool to get Lomie and I guess I made a big splash with my diving technique. I just wish I had taken out my new phone first. It has not worked right since. I can't hang up the darn phone, I have to take the battery out to end a call!

So Lomie did not like getting her face wet-at first. Talk about a fish out of water. Her stage is the stage! She is a dancer by nature. And I know many people think their kid can dance but mine REALLY can!

See I told you! As she tells me "Hip Hop" is her life. But she still wants to be a teacher, a doctor and financial planner. The girl has a plan!

So we progressed to the "deep end" of the pool to practice our "Rocket Ship".

And by the end of the session for the first day - she got used to getting her face wet!

She will survive!
