Keston's first swim

Wai Po bought me this suit.

This morning, at the ripe old age of 3mths and 1 week, Keston went for his first swim. I know alot of mummies bring their babies to the baby swimming tub place at Harbourfront. But I couldn't justify paying for swimming, not when there are perfectly nice pools downstairs and I'd already bought him a neck float.

Bo gei grin

A couple of times before when we planned on bringing him swimming, the sky turned stormy. Today we fed him breakfast, let him play for half an hour and then practically grabbed him and dashed downstairs before a)it rained b)he turns sleepy.

The most difficult part for Keston was getting used to the water temperature as it's really cold. HW had to dip his leg in a little bit then bring him up for a cuddle...then dip abit more and cuddle him and so on until finally can get his whole body in. Once Keston got into the water, he was smiling and laughing away. People who were walking past smiled and commented "So cute"...I think it's more the act of seeing a baby bobbing on the water surface, rather than outright compliments on his looks. Keston first started in the bubble pool then we brought him over to the kid's pool. It's not like he can play with the slides yet but a change of scenery seemed fun! :)

Conked out right after getting bundled up!

We had such a great time and I can't wait to bring him swimming again. I'm wondering if I should apply some sunblock lotion for him....
