Busy weekend and Water Babies!

Mary Jo and Barry were in town this weekend and we had a birthday party for them up in NH on Saturday. Then yesterday Jeff's cousin Jamie came over and we went downtown for lunch. We were supposed to go to the aquarium as well, but the line was wayyy too long and we didn't have time to wait around. It was a super-busy weekend. Between going to New Orleans and this past weekend, Cleo has been quite the trooper. We've tried to maintain her schedule as best as possible, but have not been able to get her to bed on time consistently and I think it is effecting all of us. We are collectively exhausted!

We had our first water babies class on Saturday morning. Cleo did really well, although we arrived a couple minutes late and I felt a little lost for a bit. But soon we were getting the hang of things. We sang songs, performed different maneuvers with the babies to get them used to being in the water (flip from belly to back, float on back/belly, sit on the wall and "jump" into the water, get water sprinkled over your head, play with toys, etc) and generally had a good time. They packed a lot into the 30 minute class, but I think it is going to be a fun way to start our busy summer weekends for the next 7 weeks. Although, we'll miss one class while we're on vacation in late July and there is no class this week because of the holiday. Many of the babies cried, but Cleo seems to really really enjoy the water and isn't afraid at all.
