I Can Swim Like Ariel

Today was Abby's first day of swim class. Abby and I did lots of "mommy and me" swim classes in Illinois (which she loved), but since we've moved, I hadn't signed her up for any classes. The reason being is that swimming lessons are out of this word expensive around here. And believe me, I looked and looked to find a place that offered lessons at a half way decent prince. After no luck, I finally bite the bullet and just enrolled her....I mean, the girl has to learn to swim, right? We live in the state of 10,000 lakes! Anyway, today was the first class, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a great set-up - it's a lap pool, but it's divided into these really tiny sections for each class...there were probably 15 classes going on when we were there. She is in a class with 2 other girls, and her section of the pool is no bigger than our king sized bed.....a very comfortable environment for her. She said she had a fun time, and hopefully she'll learn a bit, too! I would love to take a class with Hannah & Griff, but there is no way I'm paying that much for them, too....so, I'm still on my quest to find a reasonably priced mommy and me class for them!

Hannah is MUCH better. After a dose of antibiotic and a good night's sleep, she was back to being her charming little self. Griff has been practicing his climbing on all our furniture over and over and over again, all day long. He climbs up, figures out the highest point he can get to, and then does a combination of climbing, slithering, and falling down to the floor. Picks himself up and is at it again! I'm transitioning them to one afternoon nap, and so far they are doing okay. A bit tired at dinner time, but I figure it will take their bodies a few days to get used to the new schedule.

Abby is back to school tomorrow. She's excited about going back. We saw her friend Ella at Michael's Craft Store the other day and the girls chatted like they were long lost friends! It will be good to get back into our normal routine.

Enjoy the below pictures......pictures from swim class, and some of Hannah and Griff from today.

Leaving for swim class - thanks Aunt Nancy and Uncle Don for the cool warm-up suit!! Perfect for class!
