Your Seventh and Eighth Month

Dear Dylan,

Today you had your first
'swimming' experience at Safra Tampines. The weather was perfect. As Daddy and Mummy were getting excited over preparing your swimming 'equipments' and dressing you up in your wet suit, we noticed that your energy level had also elevated, as if you knew that something thrilling was going to happen today.

We double-checked your 'field-pack items' (a term we use in the army to describe a backpack filled with personnel equipping) and set off before the weather decides to take a change.

As this was your first experience in a much bigger 'bath-tub' as compared to your private spa-tub, we got you a companion, an inflatable turtle, just to make sure you have fun while staying safely afloat.

We fitted you comfortably into the seat with cut-open holes for your legs to tread the waters beneath, as you begin riding through the waters with your turtle friend.

We were amused when you started to splash the water with your small dimpled palms which sent ripples of pleasure along with your new found adventure.

However, it was not surprising that such moments were shortlived, as your adventurous nature got the better of you and had you climbing out from Mr Turtle... So, Daddy had to help you put on your life-jacket as you attempted your first swim.

.

Although your swim only lasted for an hour (we were concerned that you might catch a cold if you had stayed longer), we hope that you have enjoyed your first swimming session and continue to enjoy the many more to come.

Well ... if not, at least the nice warm milk after the good work out ya ? :)

Happy 7th and 8th months, my son.

Love

Dad
