This morning she had her first swim class at Emler Swim School (highly recommended by Andrea) and it was great! I had an idea V (and mom) was going to enjoy it for several reasons. First, she was going to be around other babies/toddlers. Sure enough she was in heaven with the other kids running all around her, she even made a new friend. They both loved splashing around in the water together, so cute! Second, the salt water pool is set to a warm 90 degrees...I didn't have to worry about her little chin chattering after a 30 minute class. Finally, the class is structured so that each song and activity helps the baby become more comfortable in the water as well as teach them how to swim. By the end of the course in June, Vivi should be able to hold her breath under water for 3 seconds...crazy!!
(Sorry for zero photos of her in the pool, I promise some once there is a visitor to snap some shots of us in the pool!)
After a nap and lunch, we walked across the street to the Austin Children's Museum. V is still a tad young to take advantage of the toddler area, but she still had a great time exploring new sights, textures and sounds. Best of all she was able to watch other kids and the fish...she was a happy girl!
After the museum, Mama needed a coffee! We strolled down to Jo's for an iced coffee. With coffee in hand, we walked down 2nd to enjoy the sunshine and some window shopping. Ahh!
Back at the condo, I decided to try out a new recipe for V's dinner. Kale, potato and green beans with parm and olive oil, yum! Vivi loved it! Thank you Chef Florence for another wonderful recipe! I even ended up trying a new salad for J and I, delicious!
