Swimming!

Swimming is one activity that I will very much like Claire to do instead of bringing her to shopping malls for window shopping.

So, after months of persuasion and threats to Pirate King on bringing Claire to this place that has tub swimming for babies. We finally went there last Saturday.

Quoting Pirate King's words on the session,"$25 for clearing a piece of mucus from Claire's nose is really expensive!"

This place has 3 big tubs for babies to "swim". The babies are given a float around their neck and plonked them into the big tub of water to swim.

When the lady put the float around Claire's neck, Claire's expression looks pissed off but she has not made any statement yet. The moment, we plonked her into the tub, she is so happy as her feet is able to touch the bottom of the tub (that's not called "swimming") and she starts to kick a bit.

Upon hearing my complaint on her touching the tub's bottom, the lady in charge poured in more water. This little rascal of mine starts to enjoy herself but her face is expressionless and she knows how to hold on to the float! Subsequently, the float is making her uncomfortable and she starts to wail!

The moment the float is taken off her and with my hands supporting her in the tub. She is so happy and back to her cheeky self. Guess what, she did a doggy style (ie floating by herself) without me doing anything! The best part is that the big piece of mucus in her nose came off and i squirmed when i saw it sinking down to the bottom of the tub!

I think I gotta scrub Doris' bath tub and bring Claire there for more swimming sessions! Hopefully, Doris has a rubber ducky too!
