DN is an Aquaduck

After being on the Aquaducks waiting list for a few months, DN finally got a space in their toddler swim class at the Portsdown Road pool. Quack! It's a really early class, :p but we figure it's a good thing because it gets us off our butts early in the morning and forces us to start our Sundays early instead of lolling and fluffing about at home. Anyway, DN is such an early riser (he usually wakes up by 7.30am) that it doens't make any difference to him. It's me that's the problem - sleep is my good friend, my VERY good friend. PF is on pretty friendly terms with sleep too. >.<

I was so excited about DN starting swim class that I bought him a new set of swim gear - board shorts and a raglan tee. DN was very excited too. On the morning of swim class, he had to lie down to contain himself.

Swim class was real fun and DN just LURVED it. They played with toys, blew bubbles, laughed and (DN's fav bit) sang Humpty Dumpty and jumped into the pool when Mr Dumpty fell off the wall. Actually, he jumped off at "Humpty Dumpty sat on the WALL..." and gave PF a big scare, but never mind.

Here, they're retrieving rings from around the pool to string back onto the noodle that the coach is holding (behind). It's so funny how ALL the kids have their favourite colours. DN only wanted to collect the yellow rings, another girl only wanted the green ones and another one only wanted the pink ones.

It was only half an hour, but DN was absolutely famished after swim class. I think it was because PF told him, "If you don't kick your legs DN, we can't move!" (when retrieving the toys). And he just stood there until DN kicked his legs like Flipper. You should have seen him go man, PF was water-blinded by his wake, haha. And gosh, watch how he just inhaled his porridge at breakfast. And his noodles at lunch. Slow down, my good man, slow down!



We headed home after breakfast and DN konked out in the car... at 11.15am! Quite amazing when he usually has his afternoon nap around 12.30-1pm.
