We brought Wayne for his first swimming lesson at Hwa Xia today. The outing was planned to celebrate him turning four months. We were so excited at the thought of seeing him swim!! It was not a real swimming pool, just small tubs filled with water and they place this float round the babies neck and let them float around in the water. Supposed to be good for the baby, letting them exercise their legs and the bobbing up and down in the water was supposed to be relaxing for the baby. But well, it turned our to be a pretty disastrous experience as Wayne cried most of the time there! No more going back k, Wayne Wayne... mommy & daddy will bring you to a real pool next time yah!
The place was really crowded, we had to wait about 15 minutes before it was our turn and because there were so many people inside the small room, I think it got a bit too noisy and messy for Wayne's liking. The moment we took off his clothes and put him in the water, Wayne started crying! Really really loudly! Okie, our little baby is quite the scaredy cat.. he got so tensed up once we put him in the water and despite mommy's attempts to sing to him, talk to him and play with him, he just continued screaming his lungs out! So after about 10 minutes in the water, we decided it was enough... =) He probably only stopped crying for one minute while he was in the water. He must be thinking "mommy why did you throw me in this little tub with an uncomfortable thing round my neck???!!! i'm scared!!!!!!".
So while little Wayne cried and cried in his tub, his neighbour babies were all smiling and kicking around in their tubs.
Here are some photos of our little darling!
Lots of people excited to see Wayne Wayne swim!
