ECFE and Water Babies...Emma Claire's Full Social Calendar!

Emma Claire had a busy day today. It was our first ECFE class of the Fall. Emma Claire has the same teacher, Mrs. Kathy and there were 5 other moms and babies in class. Two of the babies are in daycare with Emma Claire (Charolette - 4 mos and Grant - 6 mos). I wonder if the recognized each other?! We sang songs, as usual. This go round, we actually know the songs, which is nice. Emma Claire started ECFE when she was 4 weeks old, so she has come a long way! Last spring, she mostly slept through class. This time, she was interacting, crawling all over, smiling and singing loudly with the songs!

Tonight was our first "Water Babies" class at the Courage Center here in Golden Valley. We are taking it with Marissa and Jonah. Harrison was there, too, tonight. Emma Claire and Jonah are learning how to swim together. So cute! They definitely recognize each other. The class is great. Mrs. Vicki (a recreational therapist) teaches it. Her partner is a Cabbage Patch Kid. It is a fairly large class. Maybe 15 babies total. The pool is very nice and warm. We sing songs and move in the water. We practiced our strokes ("reach and pull"!) and blew bubbles. Emma Claire especially gets a kick out of the bubble blowing. We also learned "1-2-3 blast-off) from the side of the pool. Emma Claire was worn out afer (thank goodness) and was ready for bed soon after we made it home.
