RYAN'S 1ST SWIM CLASS! *it's only a trial though*

i brought ryan for his 1st ever swim class ALONE!! mummy was supposed to be ard as well but due to some unforseen ridiculous reason (request to apply for childcare leave was turned down cos of contact time), i had the honours to bring my lil boy alone with maximum bonding time!! hehehhe... and of course mummy is still fuming to date and has demanded to bring him swimming this sat! the swim session was organised by aunt ivy aka perper for the 06 babies (trinity, jayden, javier, cayden, dexter & ryan) and it was held at the NTU alumni house over at one-north. it was a breezy afternoon and expectedly the water was *brrrr* cool! had to single-handedly change ryan out of his clothes and into his swimwear and it was no easy feat! aunt ivy offered to help but i insist i was fine (must appear competent!) ryan was rather co-operative and soon after he was ready for his swim! while waiting for aunt lina aka keikei and aunt 'caymom' to arrive, we were told to bring our lil ones to the edge of the pool for some 'warm-up' preps. i was amazed that jayden and trinity were walking on their own already and very fast at that and realised its just that ryan's rather lazy to start doing that now! hmph! the occasional splashing of the 'cool' water was rather enjoying and ryan appeared 'warmed-up' and was ready! when everyone was ready, i realised i was still in my tee & berms! OMG! thank goodness aunt lina's maid was there to help hang on to ryan while i zoomed to the chair and stripped! the entire session was thoroughly enjoyable except for the part where the coach came over to ryan for his turn to get orientated! as usual, due to his high level of stranger anxiety (which was never apparent til a few months back), he wailed and screamed much to my embarrassment! he had to stand out among his peers! hahahahahha.... aunt sally aka sweetpea was busily snapping away while we were 'swimming' and i must say, the pics were great! absolutely priceless!! then came the moment i dread! it's shower time!! i carried ryan to the bathroom, stripped him and tried to rinse off the clorinated water without any soap (since grandma's gona bathe him soon enough when we reach home anyway). as usual, dressing him up was an extremely mind boggling and tedious affair! had to distract him with my car key, his mickey rattler, etc just to put on his romper and shoes! wat a struggle! but i kinda enjoyed it and felt good about it all! alas! i could bring ryan out single-handedly wifout crying for help! hehehhe.... we gave aunt jerene aka missy and javier a lift to holland v before heading for grandma's place! it was truly a great experience and a memorable one too! cant wait for the upcoming MyGym trial at great world this sat!
