Lenny had his first swimming lesson today and it turned out to be my first lesson in nursery rhymes. I managed quite well with the oldies like Ring a Rosie and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star but found myself miming to some of the newer ones.
Lenny didn’t seem to notice, he was too busy being stunned by cups of water being tipped over his head and sudden dunkings under the water. Despite the initial shock, he took it all very well and splashed about like crazy.
A by-product of swimming is longer-than-usual daytime naps. When we got home, he slept for nearly two hours! I decided to use the spare time to try out this recycled pants project with an old t-shirt I got from a market in St Kilda when we were living there.
It’s totally stretched out of shape but I’ve haven’t been able to bring myself to get rid of it so I’m especially pleased to be able to make it into something for Lenny. They’re just house pants of course but I’m quite happy with the result for about half an hour’s work.
So cute!
They turned out so cute! Nice work.
Two hour naps? Right that’s it – I’m getting Ivy to swimming lessons pronto!
