Buoy Baby




Noah came for the morning yesterday and joined Fred and I at our swim class. As a bonus for Fred, daddy stayed home to help a mama out! Its incredible that a half hour lesson is a two hour adventure with wardrobe changes, a group shower, and all the packing/unpacking! We were all wiped out! Fred is a total shrimp gipper with kicking and splashing all over the place trying to swim. Noah sorta just bobs in the water. He is so buoyant it is hilarious! His trunks fill with air making him look even puffier than what he is! Too cute! When we practiced floating the kids on their back the other one year old in the class wriggles to keep his head up, Fred tries to make like a clam doing an ab crunch in the water to lift his head out. I could have let go of Noah and he would have been content to just float with only his nose and eyes above water. Just another instance where these buddies are total opposites. We hope he can come again next time with his mom so she can get in on the fun! Pictures and movie from the locker room when we were trying to put on our best Michael Phelps game face, with chest bump! I think in any relay Noah wouldn't swim anchor, he would just be an anchor.
