Waterbabies!

Dave, Charlie and I signed up for a Waterbabies class at Fitness World West in West Des Moines. The first class Charlie and I decided to try it out on our own.... after 15 minutes of Charlie screaming his little head off we got out of the water & left class early. I then decided it might be better for Charlie if Dave  came with us.

 Something you probably didn't know about Dave... he does not like public pools :) it kind of cracks me up a little. He is this manly man and at the same time public pools gross him out - haha! But Dave being the good daddy that he is came with! Class was AMAZING, Charlie had such a good time! Great for me and Charlie, bad for Dave... that meant he had to come to EVERY class!
Each class we learned a new skill. By the third class we were going under water... Charlie (ear plugs in) LOVED to go under water, he was laughing like no other! However, that night Charlie was in pain :( poor baby. The only way he would sleep was sitting up in a chair rocking, so he and I sat in a chair all night and I rocked him. Needless to say, we did NOT go under water after that night!

All in all, it was a great experience, by far Charlie's favorite thing to do was to jump in and we are all very excited to make a lot of trips to the pool this summer!
