La Petite Baleen

There's another Baleen out there. It's a swim school in the Presidio and it's more crowded than a petting zoo with free feed. The Dragon Boss and I threw on our swim trunks (speedo for the little guy, board shorts for his dad) and tested it out.

The Dragon Boss liked it a whole lot better than Lake Anza last week as the water was much closer to bath temperature than Bay temperature. He shivered a little bit when half his body was exposed, but when you put him in up to his neck, he liked it just fine.

His temperament was steady throughout. Not once did he cry, nor did he laugh. He just stared at me like he did when he got his first baths, as if to say, Okay, you can surround me with water but I'm watching you, don't let go. This time, he let us dunk his mouth and eyes underwater and he came up kicking without a tear in sight.
