Today we took the bus to the YMCA in the beautiful, historic Presidio section of San Francisco. Our friends Karine and Ben met us and we headed to the locker rooms to suit up. Zealand squirmed on the changing table as I maneuvered his chubby legs through the small holes of his baby speedo (aka swim diaper). He must have been excited as he decided to take a pee as we walked toward the pool. The minute he hit the water all smiles. I carried him around the pool and he became increasingly ready to squirm out of my arms to check all of this out himself. He was distracted by a water aerobics class taking place in the pool next to us and the flags hanging above the pools. We had the babies sit on the ledge and then pulled them into the pool for a thrill. Zealand loved that, but his favorite part of swim time was crawling up the stairs to the edge of the pool and then going back down. He also enjoyed throwing rings from the edge of the pool down the steps. At one point he crawled out of the pool and began walking straight toward the other pool. No fear or inhibition when it comes to the water. We are going to have to do this more often!
