Isabelle’s 1st Swim
We haven’t gone swimming since Isabelle’s born. Out of the blue, hubby decided to bring Justin for a swim again this evening. We brought Isabelle along as we thought she could have some fun looking at us by the pool.
Justin was afraid of water again. He used to like swimming the last time we came, but maybe it’s been too long, he’s forgotten about the fun of splashing in the water. He’s hanging tight to daddy and refuse to let go, even though he can already stand by himself in the baby pool!
Poor Isabelle looked so bored staring at us by the pool, so I decided to bring her in.
She didn’t have swimsuit yet, and I should get one for her ASAP. I took off her diaper, and let her feel the water. She liked it and started splashing with her hands.
Seems like my baby girl was having more fun in the pool than my boy. While Isabelle’s having fun, do you know what Justin did?
He ran away from the pool and said “Go home!” Ha!

I think there’s no fear in Isabelle yet, and it’s good you started her young..
Should bring her there more often.

I think Justin needs some peer pressure to get him started in the pool

Isabelle looks so cute. Yeah, like ZMM said, good to start when they don fear the water yet.

Zara’s mama, you’re right, she’s fearless because she’s still young. That’s why I need to get her a switswim soon!
Egghead, err…his cousins can’t follow as they get sick after swimming. The only peer pressure is from mei mei loh…
Immomsdaughter, besides start young, I have to bring them swimming often too!

It is like my sons. The older one is stiff scared when I brought him to the pool last week. While the younger one was happily splashing away. It was the baby’s first time while the older boy has been to the pool a couple of times…yet so scared.

Hui Sia, really? I thought he looks like daddy. Glad to hear that he resembles me too.
Sasha, I’ve just bought one today. And we went swimming again! It’s never too early to bring baby for a swim, I think Jayden will like water too.
Jazzmint, since we’re bring Justin, may as well let her swim too. She’s doing fine, tried 2 times and so far so good.
flowsnow, yes, I wrap her right after she got up. Her body really cold, didn’t want her to get sick too.
Blur Blur, it’s getting harder when they grow older, but you can start with a small pool at home to let him get familiar first. I’m thinking of getting one at home to train up my boy.
Adrian & Alvan, which pool are you going?
Your hubby’s great, he can handle 2 of them at the same time! Or your boys have already good at water huh? Oh ya, you can still drip in even if you don’t know how to swim, if it’s a baby pool. It’s not deep at all.
WMD, my boy already started to walk in the pool today. He refused us to hold him somemore! Don’t worry, your boy will love it when he’s ready. Just keep trying.

She really loves water. That’s good. The first time we brought Brae for a swim, he was so scared! Isabelle is more brave!
