Millie's Milestones

Day 264 - In at the deep end

Millie received her first badge and swimming certificate today.

To get them, she had to sit on a lilypad and 'jump' into the water to the tune of Humpty Dumpty at the local swimming pool.

She also had to swim under water from the instructor to her mummy.

This Millie did successfully. She was immediately awarded a certificate and sew-on swan badge which she then proceeded to chew.

On the certificate, the instructor wrote: "Millie settled in brilliant to her lessons, progresses each week.

"Clearly very happy in water, lovely to see, very well done to you both."

Not bad for an eight-month-old baby, although daddy has a sneaking suspicion it was literally a case of sink or swim.

Diving to collect bricks from the bottom of the pool while wearing pyjamas may take a little longer.
