G plus K 143: March

The last two months have been crazy for me! Just when I had time to finally catch the blog up, I ended up cracking the screen on my laptop. Now that I have it back I can work on catching up.

Wednesday, March 6th...
Kaelin started his first day of swimming lessons. I am sure you probably have this look o your face like..."why des she have her three month old baby swimming?" Well, it is because..
1.) It is best to start your child off young. At infant age, they love water.
2.) The later you start, the harder it is to get them back use to water. Have you ever seen a five year old stat swimming lessons, and cry every time the water hits their eyes?
3.) It is never to soon to learn swim safe skills to protect your child from drowning!!!!!!

On Kaelin's first day, his teacher explained that we will spend the next couple weeks getting Kaelin use to the water. We sing sons about kicking your feet, we flip Kaelin on his back to start teaching him how to float, and the coolest thing is when he goes under water and holds his breath. Up until five months, infants still have the reflux to know to hold their breath under water. right before Kaelin goes under, I count to three, then blow right under his nose. He instantly holds his breath, and we go under the water and right back up.

Two weeks later, Gerald was back in town and was able to participate in swimming lessons with his son.
