Yes it is that time of year when it is time to hit the pool again. For those of you raised like us - the pool is everything and so is swimming so we have begun lessons for little Alessandro. The good news is that when you are three (he turned three this week) you can take class without Mommy in the water. Of course we miss this together time but with little Nino it would be quite hard to juggle.
Alessandro was a champ and not scared for a moment. He just jumped right in when his teacher asked him to. I was a little concerned about this because he had asked if his beloved teacher Mrs. M was also going to teach him swim and could think about this going very badly by the fact that she would not be there. Alessandro was with three little boys at the pool in their "division" which is funny because his division currently is can't swim. All three were very cute and tried really hard to do their best while wet. The class is about 35 minutes which allows for some one on one with the teacher, some group swims and some fun on one of the giant rafts that everyone seems to love (see video).
Two more quick notes from swimming - the little snoopy was ours when we were little and taught Deb and me how to float on his back. Of course Nonna still had it and passed it along to the little guy who of course loves it. Also don't you love the swim suit - it was a present from ADL's beloved Godparents Dave and Amy and still fits this year - great shopping Bs. We miss you. Tune in again soon for raising Michael Phelps II - or just having fun and getting ready for a week in PopPop's pool - either way it was fun for the entire family. XOXO
