Tyler started swimming lessons this week. It's a parent-tot class and after two classes, he's still not sure what to make of it. The first day, he impressed the teacher by showing her how well he blows bubbles. This is something we have been practicing in the wading pool and bath for a while now. But the second day, he wasn't interested in blowing bubbles, or doing much of anything except floating on his back. We aren't sure if it's the sensation of water flowing into his ears as he floats on his back, or the feeling of looking up at the sky or what, but Tyler cracks up when he floats on his back. He kept his back arched and head tilted back the entire class, trying to get onto his back. We thought he might fall asleep in the pool floating on his back. He is definitely getting comfortable and familiar in the water, which is the ultimate goal of these introductory swimming lessons. We thought he'd begin sleeping better at night with all this new activity and exercise. Not the case. He's such a busy body it is really hard for him to turn his brain off so he can fall asleep. You can see him try to do it as he lies on his bed but then his fingers start tapping or he starts exploring his eyes, ears, nose, or he looks up and realizes he is surrounded by fun toys in his bedroom. So sleeping on the mattress isn't working out as well as we thought it would and we're going to put the crib back up so Mom and Dad can get some real nighttime sleep.
