Little Swimmer

Tonight Mr. Mister went swimming for the first time! We recently joined the YMCA (where they offer free childcare, which I am very excited about). They have a warm water kids pool, so we put on the little blue swimmy diaper and brought him in. He didn't seem to love it or hate it...he was mostly non-expressive but did smile a couple times. We stayed in the water for about 10 minutes, which was about a third of the time we spent getting ready and getting dressed again afterwards.

A funny side note: When we went to the Y on Sunday to register for our membership, the women at the front desk LOVED Mr. Mister. Of course they delighted in his chubby cheeks and he put on a show for them, flashing his smile more than once. So tonight the same women were working and when they saw us walk through the door, they got so excited and said, "Mr. Mister is back! We were just talking about him yesterday." Then one said to her friend, "You have to see this baby. He's the happiest baby and he has the biggest cheeks you've ever seen!" The kicker is that they turned to me and said, "And what was your name again?" I laughed and gladly accepted my new identity as Mr. Mister's mom.
