A week of firsts...

Gavin.....First time in nursery!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! And he went in willingly and stayed for almost the whole time (that darn poopy diaper is the only thing that stopped him!)




Emma.....First time in swim lessons!!!!!!!! She now has no fear whatsoever! She was jumping in in the deep and swimming like a fish to the side.

Luke......Also his first time in swim lessons!!!!!!!! This is just what Luke needed to get over his fear of the deep end. When ever he was at his friend Nicholas' house swimming with friends, the friends would be jumping into the deep end and he would be hanging out where he could touch. Today I was so surprised when his cute teacher Ms. Simone got him to jump in. You could see how pleased he was with himself and immediately wanted to come home and call daddy :)





These pictures are actually from day 2 of lessons...Luke jumped in the deep end and then swam all the way to the other end of the pool! Emma was floating on her back like a champ! Both of their favorite part of the lesson is at the end when they get to play games and swim through the hoops!

I was in shock for a minute upon seeing the "snow" picture! What a fun activity and learning experience for the kids. Also, it is amazing what swim lessons under someone else's tutorship (it's a word, I looked it up in the dictionary! Really!!!!) can do for your kids confidence. Cute pictures, thanks for sharing but it makes me miss them a alot! Don't let that stop you though, okay? Love you all bunches!
