Yesterday we took Marisca swimming for the first time. Later on I think this will be a daddy-baby pursuit, as Elspeth's not so keen on swimming herself, but yesterday the three of us went down to Robinson Pool to give it a go.
It was a really lovely time. Marisca was clearly unsure at first (she had her bath hands on) but after a bit of cuddling and rocking she started smiling and gurgling. Elspeth and I used the classic parenting trick of being really smiley and enthusiastic to convince her that things she wasn't sure about were actually a Good Thing. I think we were the most enthuiastic people in the pool, and that includes all the older kids there who were clearly having a great time.
We'll definitely be going again, hopefully as a family; Elspeth seemed to cope with the baby pool almost as well as Marisca.
