Toddler Water Aerobics

Now that we have grass, a slide and a water table, the backyard is Zoe's favorite place to be. We used to cuddle for about 15 minutes after her nap, just sitting and watching some cartoon, waking up slowly.

Now when I go in to wake her up, she says, "oh hi Mom. Outside?"

The post-nap cuddles have all but stopped. They have made way for a different kind of bonding.

Time for playing outside and in the pool.

It's nothing huge, just big enough for both Kate and I to sit in. Actually we don't sit. We stand in it, splash water outside of it and kick.

It's like toddler-water aerobics.

Here's my instructor. Isn't she precious?

Here's my view of the class? She seems less than impressed with my abilities.

I'm not entirely sure what she expects. I've got to do the aerobics and photograph the session for her scrapbook.
