Natalie started swimming lessons last week as part of Josh's "get ready for water" program. Natalie is by far the youngest Dolphin in the pool, since most of the kids in the class are 1 or 2 years old. However, with a trip to Florida onm the horizon this is a perfect opportunity to get her feet wet (pun intended). So far she seems to enjoy the water, although, she does seem a little confused at times...especially when she was supposed to kick as she laid on her stomach on a surf board She really seems to like a game we play, especially London Bridges, which basically involves walking around the pool in circles under a big foam noodle singing the song. Some lessons she has 
taken in so far include:* Blowing bubbles in the water (teaches them not to swallow water)
* Jumping in the water from the edge (teaches them when they jump in the water to always head back to the wall to grab onto.
* Laying on her back, stomach and side in the water* Splashing!!!!
