Swimming Lessons

I put the boys in swim lessons. It was ok. Tate really didn't like it - the water was to chilly for him at 10am. I let him skip class today - and probably will tomorrow.
Once I convinced Eli that he was a big boy and that he needed to obey his teacher, he started learning things - like the back float.
He is a pretty good swimmer, as long as he can touch. We aren't ready for the "deep end" yet.
And I've had a few peaceful afternoons for the past two weeks.
He is seriously sleeping. I have video of him snoring to prove it!
(Tate slept too, but lessons were at his nap time, so that is to be expected.)

Ah, swimming lessons...I can almost smell the chlorine...so fun!

I can't believe Eli can sleep in such awkward positions. He must get all tuckered out swimming.

Sounds fun! We signed Kalena up for swim lessons later this summer, so I'm hoping she'll like it. As enthusiastic as she is about the backyard pool I'm thinking yes.

Looks like you've got an insomniac on your hands! Ask my mom about the time she "lost" one of my brothers but they were really just asleep on the toilet. I think she was at the point of calling the police.

And I like your new roll of TP carefully balanced on top of the used up roll...sometimes it's just easier to do it that way...because why replace the roll when you're just going to use it up soon anyway?

CLASSIC! I LOVE days where I just wear them out! What a cutie!

Nothing like swimming to wear a person out!! I love all the sleeping pictures! Too cute!! :)

Thanks for pointing that out Becca. I guess I just can't hide how lazy I really am. Dang it.

Haha, Becca beat me to the comment about the TP roll. I love the pic of him asleep on the throne. HILARIOUS.

It's hard work being a boy! Love the toilet shot. That's a keeper.

The toilet picture is my absolute favorite. I LOVE it.

Swimming lessons do bring back lots of memories. We giggled for a long time about one day at Ricks college lessons with Rebecca.

How adorable!!! So glad you are enjoying the water -- yesterday we finally broke 80 and headed to the splash park for the first time! Say hi to all for me...
