Today was Hayli's last swim class for term 1. Hayli really does enjoy the swim classes and the water activities. Conrad did a really good job documenting the swim class. GO DADA!!!
Hayli really likes to go under the water. She is so funny - she keeps her eyes and mouth open when she goes under. How silly!
Andrea, our instructor, does a water activity called "Motorboat". Hayli likes the song but hates going into the 'motorboat' and normally can't wait to get out of it!!!
The class does a lot of 'station' work. The babies go from station to station and do various activities. Unfortunately, Hayli is so young that she can really only do two of the five provided stations... so we improvise!
Andrea also does "Little Fishy" with the individual babies. It is really interesting to see how Andrea has gained Hayli's trust. The first time, Hayli didn't want anything to do with this! Hard to believe it now though.
Another water activity that we squeeze into our 30 minute water session is riding on Mr. Duckie. All the little ones get onto the floating Mr. Duckie (though our Mr. Duckie is really a turtle...) and then at the end of the song the babies splash into the water. Hayli loves this fun little game.
Then comes Hayli's least favorite part... the goodbye song. Poor baby has to get out of the water after this.
