Aqua Tots and fun kids

Lydia went to her first "swimming lesson" on Saturday.  We signed her up for Aqua Tots since she seems to love the water so much.  The sessions are mostly about getting kids used to the water.  I was in the pool with her and had fun singing the songs and playing with her. they taught us how to "dunk" them in the water.  It was really nerve wracking. She has never put her head under the water in a pool so I wasn't sure how she would react and it just felt weird to do to her.   I had one of the Swim Instructors do it first to show me and he was impressed that she didn't cry or scream. I was too.  She really does love the water.

 

She also made this fashion statement before we left for her lesson.  It was funny that she kept her new "hat" aka her swimming suit bottoms on for so long.

 

We have a friend who is having a baby next month so we gave them most of our baby toys/supplies.  I placed them by the door and Jared and Lydia really enjoyed playing with them.  It's amazing to see how big they are in them now.

 

 



One thing I love about Colorado Springs in the summer are the rainstorms.  They come once or twice a week at least. I wish they came every day they cool everything down so nicely.  We were out playing one day when a storm came in. I let Jared and Lydia stay out and play before it got too crazy. I am not afraid of lightning when I see it in the sky but I do get worried about it striking near us.  They loved it. I can't say that I was surprised.  Playing in the rain is always a good time.
