43. Swimming

Nicki- you ready for you swimming lessons pumpkin?

I was changing Razah into his little water proof diaper and swim trunks for his swim lesson today. Since it was cold outside I put him on a little jogging suit until we got there. One thing I didn't know how to do was swim so it was very important to me that my kids are comfortable in water. Meek was outside walking his ugly dog. I can admit that the dog wasn't a bad dog, I just don't like dogs period, but Razah loves him so I guess he can stay. We decided on the name LoLo because I figured it would be easy for Razah to say when he gets a little older. Meek hates that name but I had to deal with the dog so he has to deal with the name.

Meek- you ready Nicki?

Nicki- yeah, here we come.

He took the dog in his room and put the little gate up so he couldn't get out.

Meek- ight, lets go.

We loaded up in the car and headed to out community center.

Nicki- My baby's gonna be so cute swimming. Did you make sure to charge your phone?

Meek- nah, I forgot

Nicki- Meeekkkk, why you don't never listen.

Meek- I forgot, chill. I got enough battery to take a few pictures and videos. You tryna record the whole thing and shit.

Nicki- you damn right! This is my first baby at his first swimming lesson and I'm gonna record it all.

Meek- you one of them crazy ass moms

Nicki- and don't forget it.

We pulled up to the place and there was barely anybody there.

Nicki- I got him you get the bag with the diaper and blow dryer in it.

Meek- blow dryer?

Nicki- my baby's not going outside with wet hair. There will be no more hospital trips for us until baby pumpkin head decides to show its face.

He shook his head and grabbed the bag.

I was so excited that I just could not stop smiling. When we made it to the pool area, there was only 4 other babies in there. Since I asked for a private lesson, Razah had his own private instructor which we were going to meet for the first time.

" Are you Razah?" She asked.

Nicki- yes this is Razah, I'm Nicki his mom and this is his dad Meek.

" it's nice to meet you guys! I'm Alyssa!"

Nicki- nice to meet you Alyssa.

Alyssa was a pretty young girl who looked to be about 19 or 20. Around the same age as me. She had a nice body, pretty smile and beautiful hair. This was going to be Meeks first and last time coming to swimming lessons. To make matters worse, she had on a bikini, something I haven't been able to wear since Razah was born.

Nicki- you better keep your eyes on me" I mumbled to him and he chuckled.

I took off Razah's clothes and handed him off to Alyssa while Meek and I found seats near by.

Nicki- you think she's pretty?

Meek- don't start

Nicki- I'm just asking

Meek- no, I don't.

Nicki- I know your lying but it's ok.

We watched as Alyssa and Razah floated around getting used to the water while he just looked at here and every other new face he saw. She put him on his stomach and he did nothing. Meek and I sat and laughed as I recorded the whole thing.

..

Nicki- well that was entertaining, thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa- no problem, he's so cute! I'll see you guys next week!

Nicki- bye.

I headed to the bathroom to change his clothes and blow dry his hair while Meek went to warm up the car.

Nicki- did you have fun pumpkin?

The only thing he was focused on was the lollipop that I had gave him to distract him from the blow dryer.

..

Meek- so you wanna go get him a phone today?

Nicki- yes please! I'm never going to get my phone back. Look at him, he has it now.

There was a target down the street so we decided to stop there. When we got there I went to the trunk to get the baby carrier. I put it on and put him inside before covering him with a blanket which he hated.

Nicki- before we go get the phone let's go get some baby stuff.

I needed to pick up some more formula, diapers and wipes. I also got some canned baby food because we were in the process of switching Razah over to solid foods.

Nicki- awww Meek look! I really hope it's a girl. They have so much cute baby girl stuff.

Meek- that's what I want to.

Nicki- you know I said if it's a girl then we're finished with the babies.

Meek- that's cool with me

Nicki- any things cool with you.

We walked over to the electronics next to see what we could get Razah in exchange for my phone back.

Nicki- do you think he need the phone or iPad mini?

Meek- it really don't matter, they bout the same price anyways.

Nicki- let's just get the phone. I don't think his little hands can handle the iPad yet.

The man opened up the shelf and got us a gold iPhone 6 just like mines.

Nicki- he's going to go crazy over this thing

We bought him an otter box too and then we were done shoppin. We stopped and got food before going home and calling it a night.

*IM GOING TO BE THE TYPE OF PARENT THAT WOULD BUY THEIR 6 MONTH OLD AN IPHONE. DONT JUDGE US😩
