Aquaducks
Aquaducks
Jovann has been with Aquaducks since October I think. Auntie Joanne has been asking Mommy to blog about it as she wanted to see how Jovann is enjoying himself there. Reubern enjoyed himself tremendously at the trial but due to time constraint they have not enrolled him although she wanted to.
Aside from the first 1, 2 lessons when Jovann tend to whine and was apprehensive, the rest of the time he doesn't need warming up at all. He started grinning and splashing and chuckling once he is in the water. He enjoys himself so much that knowing he enjoys it gave us the push to wake up early every sunday to bring him to class, and for us to enroll him for the next term (started Jan).
Arianne loves the water too!
The idea of aquaducks for toddlers is to get them to LOVE water, get them to be used to the feeling of their body in the water, abolish their fears of getting their ears wet, or of water splashing over their head (which is useful as Jovann still fusses when we shampoo him), teaching them to blow out their breathe in fun bubbles under water, teaches them how to move in water to reach their toys. We sing songs like Wheels on the bus, Humpty Dumpty.... He loves HUmpty Dumpty. The adults love it too coz the toddlers look darn cute lined up and sitting on the ledge of the pool. At the count of 1, 2, 3, the parent is supposed to bring them down splashing into the water. Jovann loves this and will now wriggle wriggle his butt until he goes down himself into the water, hehehee.

Jovann don't mind getting his ears wet, and he even attempts to blow bubbles in the water nowadays. But he still don't like it when we pour water over his hair. He loves the catching toys time, and loves to go for the black and white soccer ball. He prefers a toy in each hand though.

That day after aquaducks we went to GWC to have lunch and buy his grocers. Daddy went off to wash his bowls after we fed him, and I was fooling around with Jovann in the foodcourt. :)
