Swim Lessons

We took the kids to the COM center for their first swim lessons. They had a 30 min class M-Th for two weeks. They were both a little bit scared. Emma was especially afraid at first, and spent most of the first lesson clinging to the teacher's neck. After that, she warmed up a little. She ended up passing the first level and Morgan passed three levels. They both had a great time, especially on "pirate day", the last day of class. They got to jump off the diving board and swing on the rope swing. They''ll definitely need a few refreshers courses, so we plan to go for another round in September.

Morgan learning to float

Emma's toes say it all...she's a little freaked right now!



Morgan refused help and jumped off like he'd been doing it all his life.

Emma had to be dropped off the edge every time...

...but she always came up with a huge grin!

Baby Talk

I got a video sample of V's baby talk yesterday. She sounds a lot like Morgan did at this age. I've tried to capture her praying, but that hasn't worked out so far.
