We had to wake him up this morning to go to the Mommy and Me swimming class. He was not really in the mood to go anywhere. When we got to the pool, we put his ear plugs in, we put sunscreen all over him and we were ready to take him in the water. There were about 10 other children between 6 and 36 months. The first thing we had to do was get him acquainted with the water and rock him in the water a little bit. Next thing we knew we had to pull him under water for about 2 seconds. Michael did not like that at all. He already woke up in a bad mood. He absolutely does not like sunlight and then his mommy pulled him under!! He would not open his eyes for the 20 minutes that he was in the pool. He did not really want to do anything other than clinging to me and keeping his eyes shut!!! You can see in the pictures that he keeps his head down all the time. We took him out before the class was over.
This was Michael today in the pool for the first time ever...
This was after about 20 minutes in the water. He was wiped out!!!
This is when we got home...
And here he is, happy again :)
Robert wants to try again tomorrow. Hopefully the sun won't be as bright :)
We will keep you updated...

Sam wasn't a huge fan at first, but I just brought a favorite toy with us and we took it really slow. He was like 7months when we did the mommy and me class. He didn't like to go under either. I would just go slow and let him learn that he can splash and it is okay when water touches his face. Good luck, I look forward to hearing how it goes
Oh my gosh. That bottom picture of him is so adorable!!!! I will miss him in June!
