Lessons that weren't lessons...

Yesterday, Evelyn and I went to the indoor pool for what I thought would be her first swimming "lesson."  It turns out that it's a course for new moms to get back into shape (which isn't too bad considering).  Evelyn, by far, is the smallest and youngest kid in the class.  Most of the other kids are over a year old and walking.  The babies sit in this gigantic floating fish - there is a rope attached that moms need to keep attached to them at all times.  The teacher wrapped Evelyn in one of the 4 towels I brought so that she would stay warm.  You'd think that it would make them more cold, but she was a little oven! 

At first she was a bit of a winer...  But as soon as she saw I was having fun, she relaxed and just soaked everything in.  It was too cute to watch her sitting in her floating fish watching all the new things going on around her.  She lasted 35 minutes of 60.  Not bad, the teacher said, for a little baby.  

I guess the cool thing about this is that she's soaking up new things everyday.  It's awesome to see her learning something new every day!  Being a teacher, I thought I knew kids.  When I start teaching again, I'm going to be a new teacher.  Maybe a little more patient, maybe a little more understanding, maybe a little more sympathetic.  I now understand when people say that their kids teach them more than they could ever teach their kids.

Yea kids!
