We have been busy bees since last week. Neriah and Jackson took swim lessons from Ms. Kim all last week. Every morning from 9 to 10. I was exhausted just getting everyone there! On Monday Jackson would not get off the steps, hated any water getting splashed in his face but loved being in the pool. Throughout the week I watched as he cried, was chased around the pool by Ms. Kim, clawed at Ms. Kim when she made him get in the water and continually pulled on her swimsuit. By Wednesday I think Ms. Kim was exhausted too. She told him if he cried she was going to make him jump in with her. He cried.....and they jumped in. He immediately stopped crying. Its like he realized going underwater wasn't so bad. Today he is jumping off the side without a floaty, going under water and swimming all over the pool with his floaty. Playing at the pool is a totally different experience. We are so thankful for Ms. Kim.
Here are some pics of the last few days.
Grant is still the messiest eater....ever.
Marshall is totally against the boys EVER sleeping in our bed. I don't mind at all when they sneak in. As long as it is not an every night occurrence. I know they will only want to cuddle for a very few years and I try to soak up every minute.
A trip to the zoo.
Grant found the perfect pool.
Hanging out with the neighborhood crew.
To help Jackson get over his fear of water in his face I started giving the boys showers instead of baths at night. They love it.
Grant's hair is still a problem. I can't even get a brush through it without some type of leave in conditioner.
Three Amigos....most of the time.
We went with our friends to a great water park. The kids LOVED it. We will definitely go back.
This is the result of 2 hours at the water park.
It is really difficult to go grocery shopping with the boys. Marshall went to Colorado with Pappy last week for a few days so I had to take the boys shopping. They did fine, but I always end up buying some "bribe items" that weren't on my list. This picture was taken right before Jackson ripped open the cardboard and spilled all 12 yogurts all over the floor.
We went to the library last week and got our own library card. The boys picked out 6 books and we have read them every night since.
We are trying to stay cool in the crazy Texas heat. Yesterday it was still 100 degrees at 7p!Love,
Leah
