We took Izzy to the JCC for some family swim time today. We weren’t paying attention to the time when we left the house. By the time we got to the JCC, Izzy was sound asleep. It was prime nap time.
She woke up when we got out of the car, and we seized the opportunity to take her for a swim. She was so groggy, she fell back to sleep in my arms as I carried her into the gym. She woke up slightly again, so I striped her down and squeezed her into her swim diaper.
The pool was really crowded today, and she didn’t mind. In fact, she was the Queen of Mellow as evidenced in the video below:
There were a few other babies that looked like they were much younger than Izzy. We waded over to say hello. Turns out they, were a year old. Very runty little critters. One looked like a malnourished alien with her toe head and HUGE blue eyes.
While we were cooing over the babies, a little boy of about five years old came over to me and said, “what is this? Some kind of baby meeting or something?” I cracked up and replied, “yeah, I think so.” Then he said, “did you know babies have their own special way of communicating with each other?” and I nodded my head and laughed. He smiled at me, then snapped his red swim goggles over his big brown eyes and disappeared under the water.
Izzy had about enough of swim time, so we got out of the pool to head home. While Izzy was waiting her turn to get dried off and changed back into her clothes, she was laughing and giggling and having a great time. I grabbed the camera in time to catch the tail end.
I just remembered that when I was about five or six months pregnant with Izzy (aka Peanut), I had a dream that Mitch and I were playing with her in the pool and we were having so much fun. Well, that dream has come true.
