One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

The subject of this post is in honor of Dayton's Dr. Seuss Day at school however the content is to share the news of their private swimming lessons to get them geared up for the summer!

Ellie scared me half to death last night as she slipped from the ledge and was saved by her step Mom who jumped half in the water to grab our little tomato as she bounced on her tippy toes to keep her little nose above the water! Although those moments passed quickly they felt like an eternity seeing her big eyes and her hand out reached for assistance.

In the end Ellie was the brave one while Dayton winced and refused to do 'monkey, airplane, soldier' although they both happily sang, 'bubble, bubble, toot, toot, chicken, airplane, soldier' on the way to their cousin's birthday party after their lesson.

I have some video of them at the pool that I will post tonight along with their notorious 'Baby Jesus Meets Charlotte' FHE pictures!

On the B Side: I am so relieved that they are learning how to swim! It's more than a fun activity but a safety issue!
