She is SO proud of herself and wants to practice this new trick all day everyday!
#2 SWIMMING:
Ben has an unnerving LACK of FEAR in the water. He has mastered using the life vest- he can balance himself and refuses to be held onto unless he gets cold. His favorite thing to do is to climb out of the pool and jump in by himself, over and over. He doesn't want me to catch him, so he goes under for a second or two until his life jacket brings him bobbing back up. He always surfaces with his eyes wide open and a huge grin on his face.
I have been dragging my feet to put Ashlyn in swim lessons this summer, but so far she seems to be remembering what she learned last year and is making progress on her own. I am so pleased with her interest in learning different swim strokes. She is unwilling to use any flotation device for assistance- makes swim time fun for mom!
While at the pool, my hands are on Ashlyn and my eyes are on Benjamin... what do people do in the water with more than 2 kids ??
My big boy turned 2 today! Can't believe it!!
