Natalie calls swim lessons, "swim class" and she never wants to go, in case you were wondering. This morning she did say she was going to go and get in the pool. Then we got there and that was the end of that. I was so so frustrated with her. She sat beside the pool for the entire lesson and cried. She would get quieter until someone walked by or she caught me looking at her then she would get louder and more dramatic laying her head on her knee. I told her she was making me crazy. She told me "Ben and Maddie are making me crazy!"
Tonight the girls had gymnastics and before we left to go Natalie informed me she didn't want to go and that "I am sick of it!" A phrase which incidently I used on her this morning. Ugh!
She started to balk and cling to me when class started. The teacher simply came over and picked her up and Natalie was fine.
Benjamin is doing really well with swim lessons. Kelly described him as gliding through the water, which was the perfect way to describe him. Maddie is much more sure of herself and is doing really well also. This morning I had to quick fix on her suit. When we were down in Portland last time we picked up a really cute shirt and bottom set but the bottoms were way to big. I was just going to save it for her so I picked up a couple other suits because right now they are clearing swimsuits out and you can't find them anywhere. Anyway only one of them fit so I was back to square one and ended up taking her bottoms in. I'm hoping they will be okay when I let them back out as she grows. It's a cute suit and she likes it.
So that is pretty much the story for today.
Dude. . .are you SURE that is your kid??? Maybe just maybe there was a mix up at the hospital??? She is seriously going to push you right over the edge soon!! Gotta love her cause if you didn't. . .well. . . .good times and good memories. .. just hope she pops out a kid someday just like her!!!
