Today we tested out a waterbabies class at Emler. It was... eh. Emma had a ton of fun, she laughed and splashed, and enjoyed the singing. However, moving her legs and saying "kick kick kick!" and holding her on her back as we swam under a piece of foam that the teacher held up to make a "bridge" while singing "London Bridges Falling Down" was not something that I need to pay $300 to do. (Okay, it was $300 for 14- 30 minute classes.) Let's do the math; $21 a class for something I can do. I mean, come on, I work with kids. :) SO, instead I came home and did some more research and I found a waterbabies class through the City of Plano that cost $65 for 8 classes. Hello?! Way more reasonable! More math; $8 a class. I can pay $8 to have access to a heated pool, sing a few songs, and maybe teach my (almost 7 months!!) old a few things. I'm registered! It may not be AS good, but who knows? I'll let you know. By the way, Emma was super cute in her little swim diaper, but no pics to show since I was the only one there with her. I'll try to get some pics next time.
After our swim adventure, we went to lunch with my friend Erin. Emma did pretty well until she was almost finished with her mum mum in which case she cried big fat tears. Being the good behavior analyst that I am, I gave her another. ;)
We then went to my office to visit some friends and EG got on her hands and knees and rocked... then she moved one hand... then she fell. She is SO close to crawling! I don't know whether to be excited or petrified that my life will never be the same. ;) No, I'm definitely excited. Next purchase? Baby gate!
Saturday is Brian's birthday (and EG will be 7 months!!) so we are celebrating by going down to Bastrop to visit Brian's cousin and his new bride. We are looking forward to getting out of town for a few days. Praying the rain stays away and we have nice weather... It will be Emma's first visit to the Caboose! For those of you who didn't know... Brian's uncle bought a caboose (yep, you read that right) a few years ago and completely gutted it. It's very cool. Pictures to come.
Have a great weekend everyone!
XOXO,
Lexi
