Waterbabies



Waterbabies again today including three under water 'swimmings'. ('Swimmings' are to baby water movements what 'solids' are to baby eating.) Leon first sank, then floated like a pro. This was our sixth time at Waterbabies where Leon at 9 months is one of the older ones and certainly the most bouyant. 12 proud mums and their offspring splashing about on command in a seriously warm pool.
Leon likes: throwing himself into pool from sitting on edge ('Leon, ready - splash'), throwing himself into pool from sitting on edge ('Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,...'), being thrown into air (and caught) ('Hurray'); dislikes: shower before and after; is neutral about: the rest. Breadstick and good sleep on way home.

And Stefan told a story at dinner about something turning round and round like a scare crow and thunderstorms and BIG fireworks - the usual. And all shared a punnett of the last of this year's local strawberries.
