Swimming Sensations
Tonight we went to my aunt's to eat dinner and swim. My dad was still in town and my sister joined us with James and Adam. The kids had so much fun. I wasn't sure how Stella would react. She LOVES her baths, but hasn't been in a pool since December. (We skipped the winter swim lessons due to Charlotte's arrival.) As soon as we got there, Stella pointed at the pool and said, "I go in water, mama". She had so much fun. She kept telling me to "let go mama". Then she wanted to jump in off of the side. We did that repeatedly with me catching her...I let her go under once and she wasn't so sure about that!
General warning...we are parents. Parents to children we adore. Parents to children that are the center of our attention. This means that most of the blogging will be about the children. Grandparents and aunts and uncles generally love this stuff...especially if they are out of town. Friends with children put up with it in order to have playdates (adult-only and children included) regularly. Others are often annoyed. You were warned.
