It’s Swimming Lesson Time

Okay, so it is mid October and most of you are getting your winter coats out and digging out your mittens. Not I! Today I started my ISR swimming lessons with Miss Patricia. I go every day (M-F) for three weeks or until I master my floating technique. These are the same lessons Breighton took the last two years. I have been really cranky the last two days and Mommy is convinved that I MIGHT be getting closer to a tooth, probably not! We have to jump on te lessons when we can as the weather will change soon, maybe? The pool was a toasty 82F today!

I giggled the entire time, until my diaper area hit the water. Then, which it might be genetic, the scream set in. It was more of a whimper after the first minute. I wasn’t scared, I just didn’t like being away from Mommy. I actually did very well.

I went right to my back, where I should be. I only arched my back once but realized that resulted in a mouth-full of water so I was done doing that. I learn quick!

We did a few roll-overs. This teaches me to go to my back.

Within less than five minutes I was floating independently. My screaming stopped and I just started to go with the flow.

See… LOOK… I FLOAT!

I don’t go back until Thursday of this week because we are really busy with things this week. Next week I will go every day! 🙂

Don’t worry Grandma, no trauma here. Within one minute of getting out the of the pool I let out a burp that would have registered on the Richter Scale and then giggled uncontrollably.

Disney Halloween and Character Breakfast

Last week we went to Disney for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween. Mommy, Daddy and I wore matching shirts while big brother wore his Dragon costume (some of the time).

I wasn’t sure what to think of the characters. They kind of scared me.

But i DID like the spoon I was chewing on.

Mickey Mouse wasn’t SO bad. Breighton was a bit scared of him.

Stitch terrified me.

But Lilo was pretty okay.

I had fun. Can’t you tell how much b my goofy grin.

First HELICOPTER Ride

Today I got to take my first helicopter ride. Since I am so LITTLE they didn’t even charge me.

Ready for the ride.

Happy as can be… that is me!

Right before the helicopter got there I started to melt down. Mommy nursed me quickly and then strapped me back in the Bjorn on Daddy.

I finally got buckled in and we took off. I looked all around and was VERY nervous.

Then I settled in to the whir of the blades…

And took a NAP! Good thing my ride was FREE!
