In the last couple of months, our Tuesdays have become a treasured part of our week. Every Tuesday we head down to Laguna Hills for Taj's "water safety" class, where he is learning to go underwater, and float. This class is important for every child. They teach the kids basically how to hold their breath under water and turn their bodies to float on their back, in the event they fall into the pool and such. A crucial skill for every child to know....preventing drowning. Its held at the indoor Atlantis Swim school, they offer multiple classes every day, for only a $25 monthly fee... best deal in town! I am amazed how quickly Taj has caught on and how comfortable he is in the pool. He's already going underwater! The teacher takes turns working with each student, dipping them underwater, teaching them to float for a certain length of time, etc. Its like a music circle-time in the water because the teacher combines the water exercises with songs the kids enjoy! I'm looking forward to enrolling Jax in the class next month when he is 4 months old. My goal is to have the boys know the safety basics just in time for a summer of pool and lake fun.
We either drive down to my sister's in Rancho Santa Margarita before the swim class and drop off Jax with my mom, or take our babysitter with us and she stays with Jax while Taj and I are in the water. If we go to RSM and leave Jax with my mom then we usually take her back home with us and spend time with her the following day! Last week, on that particular Tuesday, Sam drove down with us to the class, stayed with Jax and took pictures of Taj and I in the pool. Then after we showered and got dressed, I dropped Taj and Sam off at this local "dinosaur park" while Jax and I ran errands for an hour, picked them back up, and stopped off at Whole Foods on the way back home. Love these pics Sam took while playing with Taji at the dinosaur park, he was such a big boy going down the big slides, and swinging on the big swing and tire swing!
