Trying on the swimmie, oh so fun, actually using the swimmie to swim in...not her favorite. So, we got Claire to the pool dressing room and she was still very excited, that is until we entered the actual pool part of the Natatorium. She clamped her little legs on to my hips and had a death grip on my suit. They were easily detected "nervous Claire" warning signs. If any of you have thrown her too high in the air or scared her by accident you have witnessed these first hand. Claire has never been a dare devil and I find it mildly amusing that she gets so nervous! We are constantly trying to expose her to wild and wacky things such as the local pool, bubble blowing, and silly string: all have been terrifying experiences for her and ultimately ended in big crocodile tears.
I was able to peel her off of me and I had her observe the "fun/exciting" water with a hot life guard I found at the poolside...oh wait, that is just my incredibly handsome husband. Silly me.
She was not convinced. The minute they stepped in the water she was in hysterics. That Claire, she's no drama queen.
Claire even climbed out of the pool all by herself! See ya suckers!
After what, I am sure, seemed like an eternity to Claire, she was once again safe in her towel.

Poor Claire... you guys were torturing the child! Just kidding, I know what it's like to have a drama queen - two of them.
I loved your comment about the hot life guard. You crack me up, Katie Jane!
I too am the mother of a wimp. Your experience reminds me of my own last summer during Mom & Tot swimming lessons. Xander clung to me so tight that I didn't even have to hold him. Lets hope they both grow out of it!
Katie you are too funny and obviously Claire is destined to be too funny too! I love it. The swimmie fashion show... killer!
