Swim Class

Michael began swim lessons in the summer and is doing very well in such a short time.  He is now able to kick and beginning to paddle.  His comfort level with floating on his back is improving each week. The biggest improvement is going under water - since the first time, he has never taken in water, so we know he is holding his breath...but he used to cry each time he came out of water.  Now, Michael is closing his eyes and holding his breath on the count of 3 without having to blow in his face, and coming out of the water without crying!  He loves it:)

Kick..kick...kick
Paddle, Paddle, 1...2
Making a T & floating

He loves the fish kick board

Things that Michael LOVES to do...

Push the vacuum....everyday, all day!
Wearing "Daddy's hat"

Playing with the firetruck with Daddy

Checking to see who is driving...he typically says "Daddy"


Michael fell on sidewalk and scraped knee on our way to the Margate Fall Funfest.
Afterwards, we went to see Daddy at the firehouse, which Michael 
calls "Daddy's house,"so that he could "fix booboo"

"fo gig!" (So big)

Hugging the baby.  Michael says "hi" to the baby several times a day and has
to kiss & hug my bare belly.  He is says "I buh boo baby!"
