Swimming

I have been dying to take Noah swimming but wanted to make his first pool swin be a family occassion so we could get pictures. Well, I couldn't hold out. Noah was having a bad day and boycotting naps. So after 10 hours of him being awake with no nap and being crabby I packed him up in the stroller and made our way to the pool. I was completely out of ideas to get him to stop screaming. We got there and got in. The kiddie pool was closed because someone had thrown up in it, so we were off to the big pool. It was pretty chilly but that didn't stop us. Noah immediately began to splash around and was stunned by the new tasting water. He did put his mouth to the water and drank like he likes to do in the bath but his face told me it wasn't as good. Noah enjoyed watching all the other kids and splashing around. We then went home and did some more swimming in the tub to get the chlorine off. Then it was pjs time and play time. Finally at 7 p.m. he began to rub his eyes and I picked him up. Within 2 minutes he was passed out in my arms. I put him to bed and 3 hours later he is still sleeping. Although I complain quite a bit about our inconvenient community center, I am loving it today and owe it my sanity.
