swimming
Hi,
was just wondering if your babies enjoy swimming? I took Ben swimming today for the first time, he didn't seem to particulary enjoy it, just had a bit of a blank expression, didn't cry, was just a bit disappointed as I was so excited about taking him, that he wasn't smiling/laughing like he does when I'm playing with him with his toys etc. DO you think it might take a bit of time?

p.s he is 21 weeks

We've been doing Waterbabies for 9 weeks on Sunday and I think in the last month Alf has shown he was enjoying himself with smiles and giggling. Maybe Ben was just taking it all in as it must be a shock to the system all the smells, sights, people and you'll look different too. Well worth a few more goes and I'm sure he'll be away with it! Seeing Alf swim underwater is just the best feeling (well when he's resurfaced!) or naturally kick without you saying in the water is great.
I say give it another few goes and he'll be crying when you get out like Alf does now! x
Louise always has a worried look on her face when she's studying new things. She looked a bit worried the first time we got in the pool but quickly relaxed and now loves it!
ps. Oscar was 21 weeks when we did his first swimming lesson too so i think it's pretty normal x
