Kaitlin and I went to her first swimming lesson with Conductive Ed this week. Wow! A big pool as warm as a bath. She took to it really well, smiling when she got splashed by the other kids. No one went easy on her because she is little which is good. Kaitlin did Ring-a-rosie, Humpty Dumpty and other activities with the bigger kids with myself and Ange helping her with the actions. She held on to a floatie and lay supported on her stomach and practised kicking around the pool. She lifted her head up herself for a while to keep it out of the water! So cool to see and really good excercise. She did lots of kicking practise in different positions, good to relax those legs muscles and get a good range of motion going. It was a day of firsts with her having her first ever shower as well. She thought it was great. The swimming nappies that Granny sent for her birthday were perfect, thanks Granny!X
