I Dive Into You

It’s that time of year again, the outdoor pool closes and indoor swimming lessons begin. With my buddy, Josh, by my side, we started the next session of Shrimps and Kippers at the local YMCA. However, this time we have a new teacher so things are a bit different this time around. We’re doing a lot more than walking around in a circle singing songs. This teacher allows up to jump off the side of the pool into our parents arms, kick off the wall, and practice kicking our feet from one wall to the other wall across the pool. A big change for me is sticking my face in the water. When attempting to blow bubbles, I love to stick my face in at random times to only be shocked when the water hits my face. I’m also getting used to splashing and loving it. I’ll stay in this class for one more session, until I’m 18 months, and then on to the big kids section in January!

After swimming lessons we headed to the breakfast spot, "The Turning Point" with Josh and his family. We then headed home where I took a long nap. That night we went to Josh's house for the first time and had dinner. Josh's mommy made the best vodka penne that I didn't get to try because it was a bit too spicy. But we got to eat spaghetti with meatballs and french bread. It was so much fun playing at Josh's because he has a mini-sofa and a piano; although he's not too fond of sharing with me. I stayed and played until 9 pm, crashing on the way home. To repay Josh, he needs to come to my house and play now while my mom serves up her speciality...chicken enchiladas!!
