The kids started swim lessons yesterday. Natalie and Benjamin were super excited to start. Madeline wasn't so much. When we got there Madeline was fine and Natalie started to get clingy and wasn't sure she was going to stay. Once she got settled she was fine until the end of the lesson when the teacher got her to do the back float and she started crying for me. I had to go get her and after she told me she was scared to be on her back in the water.
Today she didn't want to go. Madeline and Benjamin were fine and Natalie wasn't so good. She started to cry and we talked to her teacher and told her she was scared to be on her back and it was fine then she got in. Towards the end again though she got scared and cried again. So we'll try again tomorrow and see how it goes.
This afternoon I dropped a can of pop on the tile floor which exploded and made a huge mess. I hadn't really planned on cleaning the floor and the walls and everything else.
Maddie is riding her bike like crazy now. She is doing great with it and loves that she can keep up with Benjamin and Daddy. I think this was her biggest motivation to learn.
Last Friday night we got the ice cream maker that Aunt Sue had given us and made vanilla ice cream. It was so yummy and summery. I'll post the recipe on my other blog tomorrow.
I think that's it for now. I hope your day is a good one.
Nice pictures ;)
The kids are troopers!! Nat is a brave girl for getting in even after she got scared yesterday!
