Waterbaby

After a somewhat noisy night up at the beach (the wee toad decided that waking twice in the night was a good change from normal routine) we decided on our return to Auckland to take Ollie swimming. It was his first time, and went pretty well overall. The hardest part was getting him into his swimming nappy - he was very keen not to get any pants on at all...

After an initial ambivalence about the whole water thing, he ended up really enjoying himself. Lots of kicking about, and no crying when he got his face dunked on the odd occasion. The pools themselves were great, good facilities etc (and as a bonus - free!).

So we're hoping to get him into the water a bit more from now, and see how he goes. He'll be the next Thorpedo yet!
