After The Tenth..... When The Fun Really Begins

Once Macy reached 6 months (Uh, how did that happen?) she met the minimum age requirement for the local swimming class. I was afraid that it would be a little boring for her, since she's already logged hours in a number of pools and the intracoastal, but it really turned into a fun time. Class was Monday thru Thursday for 2 weeks and Macy signed up with two of her closest friends, the Wagner twins, who you can see in two of the pictures below.

I was able to leave work early enough to join the fun a few times, once just in time to take photos and the other times to actually get in the pool and participate. There are a few pictures where it looks like Macy is under the water, and it is not an illusion, she was. I can't say she it was her favorite thing, but she certainly didn't hate it. When you lift her up out of the water, she gives you a sort of "What the F&%# did you just do to me?" look, but after a second or two, her classic smile return.

After a few classes you could actually see some changes in her comfort level in the water. Some of her classes happened to coincide with grandma's visit, so there are a few really good shots that I thought about posting and letting you assume I took. But then I decided to be upfront and honest, since I'm trying to set a good example for my daughter.
