Swimming Lessons

You know Will? You know, the one who has cried and refused classes for 2 years? That would be a music class, a pre-school prep class, his gymnastics class and I feel like there is more! Well, he's all about swimming lessons! Who would have thought? Don't get me wrong, he's not a fish, but he hasn't hesitated to go to class, typically does what the class is supposed to be doing and smiles! It is pure delight to watch him willingly do something. I am so proud of him.


Paige is enjoying swimming as usual, too. She's always the one in constant "bobbing" motion. She is at a level where actual submersion is going to be expected in order to pass and she is timid about that, so I'll take the enjoyment while it lasts!

So today Paige had a hankering to do a project. I had just gotten a new Family Fun magazine and they had an outdoor project that involved putting shaving cream in a cookie sheet and smoothing it out. Then, drop food coloring and swirl with a toothpick. Then place a piece of paper in it and make "art." Well, while the result looked COOL right away, they didn't dry too pretty. But really, it wasn't about the finished project as much as the thrill of being able to play with limitless amounts of shaving cream. This even got Will off his monster truck to come participate. Plus, EVERYONE smelled powder fresh!
