Swimming

So we went to our first two classes this week at the rec centre.

Tuesday was the Boot Camp class, where I was supposed to work out with Ryan for 30 minutes, and then play with him for 15 minutes. We put our babies in these little floating seats and attached a tether to them, so that they floated in front of us. He seemed to enjoy if after a little while. I do have to say that I did not get a very good work out. I spent so much time looking after Ryan, that I don't feel like I ever got my heart rate up.

The waterbabies class today was alot more fun for Ryan. He got alot of really good interaction time with the other babies, he smiled and laughed during the class, and was even reaching out to touch the other babies. I think he's starting to feel more at ease in the water. In both of the classes the instructors used Ryan as their example/prop for showing us moms the exercises. He did really well, even though he was in someone else's arms.

I'm looking forward to next week. Although, I did start to wonder f the chlorine will affect his eczema at all...
