Aryanna Ballerina' and Idzhar's latest venture

Since the beginning of February Mommy had enrolled myself in a ballet class. I've been asking Mommy for a chance to go for dance classes for the past one year and Mommy kept asking me to wait.

The day came when she finally decided to take me for a trial class in January. She wanted me to try before making up my mind. Turned out that I really enjoyed it so, in February, I began my training to become a ballerina.

It's now been a month since I attend classes and I'll be performing in a concert at the end of April.

Will let you know how the concert goes. Hopefully with some photos or videos too.

Now, I wasn't the only one who had tried something new. Adik did too.

We took him swimming for the first time sometime end of February and since then, it's been a weekly activity for us and Idzhar. Well, Mondays have always been our swimming day all the while but Idzhar has just started joining us and he absolutely loves it!

Let's see if he picks up swimming as quickly as I did.

My favourite pastime: Swimming

How many of you can swim? How often do you swim? My Mommy and Dadda can swim. I suppose they think that it's important for me to learn how to swim too.

They introduced me to the pool very early; as early as 3 months' old although most people think it's not advisable to take your babies to the pool before the age of 6 months. Nevertheless, Mommy saw how I really love water and thought that throwing me early into the pool might also make my body tougher. My first experience in the pool was at the Hyatt Hotel, Johor Bahru.

Now, I'm kind of a seasoned swimmer among babies my age. I say that because we go swimming every Monday night at Tok Abah's club in Subang Jaya. We started swimming weekly since I turned 6 months. I'm not afraid of the water at all, unlike some babies my age.

A couple of weeks ago, Mommy bought me a special float called 'Mambobaby'. It's special because I use it around my neck so my whole body goes under water while swimming. This keeps my upper body from being cold when exposed to the air when only my legs are in the water if I use the normal float. Once our body gets cold, that's when we catch the flu.


Even Tok Abah & Tok Mama is impressed at my swimming skills and love for water!

So, I strongly recommend the 'Mambobaby' to all babies under 2 years' old. Besides keeping your whole body under water, you will also learn to swim faster because your hands and legs will be free to move around, like treading water, I mean. As a result, our hands and legs will be stronger too.

My first taste of the new MamboBaby float Mommy bought me.
Check me out, I'm really swimming baby!


Look Mommy, I'm swimming!

Besides the pool, I've also been to the sea. I don't quite like the sand but I loved the sea! I get excited everytime I see the wave coming towards me! I enjoyed standing on the beach when the waves broke and water came rushing towards my tiny feet. Mommy held me while I enjoyed the warm sea.

At the moment, I know that swimming is my favourite pastime. What about you? Care to go for a swim?

Till next time,

Ciao!
