Swimming

Oooh i feel so insecure in the waters with my legs hanging somewhere!

Mommy i think i had enough .. hehe can i get out now?

The first time we brought wawa to swim was when she was 11 months old. Now the second time, she is already 22 months. Haha ... talk about being a diligent mom :P

Well, as we know, swimming can be quite "troublesome". You need to bring along many things, the child swims for less than 20 mins, it's so sunny you get dark and you waste your SK-II products that you so faithfully apply everyday, you bathe and clean up a can't-remain-still toddler, and end up with lots of laundry.... Ok, enough of excuses but i think you know what i mean ^_^

Anyway, as a continued effort to break wawa's fear of water, i decided i have to go through some trouble after all. Thank God for the wonderful weather, and also to April who lent me the oooh-so-cute Hello Kitty wave rider. I had already orientated wawa in advance by letting her play with the wave rider at home, hopefully she will get the feel of it in the pool too.

But ALAS. Wawa screamed and cried the moment we hit the waters. She was frantically wrapping her legs around the maid and practically clinging onto her like a koala bear. Thankfully there was some other kids in the pool whom we could use as visual examples. "See wawa, jeh jeh splash the water, come it's very fun!"

Unfortunately this was the exact same behaviour displayed at 11 months, and frankly we are kinda baffled by this unexpected response. I don't know what had triggered wawa's intense fear of water, but hopefully we can help her overcome it. So i guess we'll have to just bring her to the pool more often. Not at 33 months, i promise :)
