We made it at last. We finally went swimming with Michael. After a couple of false starts, like I forgot the swimmies and I could find the pool etc. We eventually got to the swimming baths recommended by the mums at Bumps and Babies. It's a very small pool and shallow but this is great. It's no fun for teenagers and no room for serious swimmers to do lengths so it's much more relaxing for us and the other parents with their babies or young children. We caused our usual confusion and panic amongst the staff who never know how to deal with the combination of foreigner, blind lady and baby. We're not that difficult to please though so once we found a changing room to fit us all in everything was fine.
Michael was a bit unsure about being in the water at first but soon decided it was fun. This time the temperature was fine and there were even lots of floaty toys in the water for us to play with. Floating islands to put Michael on and a wonderful floating chair, much like his baby walker but inflatable. I loved seeing him in this with his funny legs paddling away underneath, tyring to walk. We were probally in for about half an hour and then Michael seemed a bit tired so was got out. All together a successful outing though and we'll try to go again before we leave NOttingham.
