The Little Madam's naps are sooo irregular. Just when I was getting comfortable with her taking 1-hour naps at around 9am and 1pm most days (and one or none on the other days), she goes and changes again. This morning, only a couple of hours after getting up, she whined and whined until it became clear to me that she really wanted to go back to bed.
So she napped from 8am-9am. Which wouldn't have been a problem, except on Thursdays she always has swim class at 9am.
As soon as she woke, I threw on her fleecy coat, grabbed the nappy bag which was bursting full with snacks and swimming gear, and headed to the pool.
We got there just five minutes away from the end of the class. They were doing underwater swims (i.e. ducking the bubs into the water and hoping they don't swallow any), and obviously TLM couldn't go straight from being completely dry to getting a good dunking.
So the only class activity she got to do was the bye-bye song.
(We stayed on afterwards and did our own thing, but it's hardly the same thing).

I HATED swim classes when I was little. The water was freezing, and it was just full of other kid's pee. Is this a new thing taking infants to swim lessons? They didn't do that when I was a kid....I think I was at least 4 or 5 before lessons....
jon: you're alive! I was beginning to worry...
Technically they aren't swim classes, but water-familiarisation classes. And the ones geared towards infants are available from about 6 months of age. The water in the infant pools is really warm, almost bath temperature.
maybe she slept on purpose hearing that the dunking would be starting soon ,she thought she would fool with your schedule
avery's mom: she doesn't mind the dunking, and anyway after the class I dunked her a couple of times on my own;-)
I wish I had gotten my little one into that. The most I did was take him to the public pool in a floaty and let him kick around. Water babies are so much fun. Hopefully next time she gets there for more of swim class.
