Babies in the pool go Splash! Splash! Splash!

This is a song we sing at DJ's swim class. It's actually called a 'water adjustment class'. There are 3 kids in the class. The other 2 kids are 18 months old and cried the entire first day, while DJ loved it! I love the water and spent a lot of time swimming when I was growing up... so we decided to start DJ early in the pool. They take babies in the class as early as 6 months old, DJ is 9 months. We will go twice a week for 4 weeks. This pictures was DJ's first day at the pool! He is looking at his daddy holding the camera behind the glass where the parents who aren't getting in the pool can wait and watch. We were soooo lucky that Grammie and Grandpa Foulk were able to be there on DJ's first day of swimming class! They had just flown in from California. :)
With anything that DJ gets excited about, he "flaps his wings" up and down real fast... like he's trying to fly away. He also breathes in and out super fast, (close to hyperventilating?) He's doing it again here while getting in the pool. His "wings" are blurry cuz they are moving soo fast! ...I'm blurry because I'm about to fall over while trying to hold DJ up. :)

DJ loves splashing and chasing the toys that are floating in the pool. He's not all that interested in blowing bubbles just yet.. In this video, check out how DJ's already mastered the breast stroke!
