We've started our first sport as big kids this past summer--swimming! Kyle absolutely loves it. Katelyn is getting more and more comfortable with it every time we go. She won't put her head under the water all at once, only in sections. First one ear at a time, then the chin and mouth to blow bubbles, lastly, her hair goes under by tilting her head back. She's pretty proud of herself. I think she just likes to get to go and play in the pool every week. Meanwhile, Kyle will jump off the diving board alone with no one to spot him if the instructor or I are not paying attention! He would stay under the water for the full 45 minutes if he could. The Lifeguards all know him by name, too. I'm sure that's a good thing, right? Our newest activity keeps all of us busy and out of trouble, the kids worn out, and makes bedtime go much smoother.
Horray for fish!
