Remember me talking about Lelia starting swim class awhile back?
Well, she's almost done with her first session of swim lessons and has enjoyed it so much she'll be starting the second session next month!
Everytime we get into the pool area, she starts flapping her arms, squealing and barely puts up with getting into her swimsuit, she's so happy to be there. She's a natural in the water...does her dives/swims underwater with ease and splashes and plays when not underwater. It's been great to watch her become more aware of the water and her space in it, as well as interacting with other parents, kids and her swim instructor.
There was an open-swim photography session a few weeks back and I jumped at the chance to get some underwater pictures of Lelia swimming. The photographer, John Carleton has previously worked with the DolFUN Swim Academy so he's quite familiar with 'young merfolk', as he calls them. You can check out his website here. And his Flikr account here. His photos are pretty cool! Check out his 365 project on his Flikr account...amazing!
And why is her swimsuit so low cut, you ask? Yeah, that would be because I put her swimming suit on backwards! Lame! But the pics are good anyway, even if I can't dress my own child!
We're so excited our little monkey likes the water and loves swim classes! Yeah!
And my all time favorite....
