SWIMMING with my new friends

 
                               POOL TIME at Nanas and Bampas with my new style ladies



Last week Dominic started swimming classes at the YMCA.  The kids ages range from 6 months (Dominic being the youngest) to 2 years old. He has been in the water before and loves it but I thought it would be good to swim with kiddies his own age and learn some MORE new toddler songs… cannot get enough of the singing.



 
 
 
One of his favorites is when we sing Humpty Dumpty Sat on the wall then fall into the pool and swim to the center of the pool and back.  He loved watching the other kiddies as I was carrying him around BUT his favorite game was with the ducky’s.  The teacher would throw the ducks around the pool and we would go get them and place them back in the bucket.  Dominic was so fast picking up the ducks and putting them back,  I was surprised he gave them up so easily.

After several failed attempts to feed Dominic cereal and oatmeal, we decided to go sweeter and try apples and sweet potatoes. He loved them both.  I am now starting to sneak in the rice cereal which he has not noticed yet.
 
 
Dominic is LOVING his play jumper that we got him about a month ago. We started him in it for 15 minutes and now he plays up to 45 minutes, the lights and animals that are hanging all around keep him so busy. He is reaching for everything and just such a curious little thing, I LOVE it.  His second new favorite toy is what I call the “peek-a-boo” box.  Where Dominic pushes the buttons (sometimes with moms help) and then closes them all by himself and it is so amazing to watch him develop theses
