Poolside



Zach started swimming lessons this month. It's more like a "get to know the water" class than an actual swimming class. Despite his enthusiasm for the bath tub, he has been a little indifferent about the whole swimming lesson idea. Mom and Dad are definitely more excited about it than he is. He has been so mesmerized by seeing other babies that he hasn't had much time to figure out if he likes the water. He does, however, enjoy the part of the lesson where he has to retrieve a bath toy and carry it back to the edge of the pool. With Dad's help, of course. We're looking forward to see how he does this weekend as we head up north to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland for a few days on the beach. We've packed lots of sunscreen!



Really, I'm much more excited about this swimming thing than I look!


Okay, maybe this isn't so bad...


Bath toys!



Blowing bubbles



Kick, kick, kick!

Little Zacharoo sitting in the water.
Little Zacharoo playing like an otter.
He took a hold of his dad's big hand,
And he swam and he swam all over the land.
Little Zacharoo, this water is a plus
'Cause soon he'll be swimming like a platypus.
