Swimming update

Robbie and I (Shawn) have been taking swim lessons on Saturday morning.  Nothing like learning to swim to "Wheels on the bus" and Itsy Bitsy Spider".

I can't say that Robbie is the best swimmer in his class but he is doing ok.  I don't think he loves it but he doesn't cry and he listens (for the most part) to what I tell him to do.  He is not crazy at all about swimming on his back - don't want to exaggerate I hold him during all of this. 

They try to introduce a new milestone during each lesson and this past Saturday the big step was the kids going completely underwater for the first time.  The trick, and there always seems to be one, is count to 3 and on 4 blow into their face.  This cause them to take a breath and then you take them under.  Robbie did it 3 times and did it with a smile.  Half the class was crying but Robbie seemed not to be bothered in the least.

Next week is free swim - big step - I will report back on those results next week.

Fat Daddy in Action

Fat Daddy getting ready for bed tonight.

(He likes to close doors)

Fat Daddy

I feel like I should be concerned that Robbie's nickname at his new school is fat daddy...

We spent so long trying to get him above 5% on the growth curve that I celebrated when he hit 15% at his last appointment.  Now he's still not walking, but eating like a walker.

Fat Daddy. 

Sounds like it has some street cred.

School Picture Day

Robbie's ridiculous school picture day outfit.  You can blame Mom (and a $7.99 Zulily deal) for this one.

Birthdays Galor

We had a great weekend.  The main activity was Birthdays - 3 to be exact.

We went to to the Speed's to help celebrate C's 2nd birthday.  The Speeds out did them selves with a Fall theme.  Corn stalks, pumpkins and bales of hay were everywhere and they even had live music.  C had a great time and as always it was great to see 3 generations of Speeds having a great time.

On Sunday we had a double header.  We started off at the Krenik's event celebrating the 1st birthday of their twins - K and R.  This party was held at one of the gyms for kids gymnastics.  Everyone had a great time rolling, tumbling and sliding (Robbie's favorite).  The place even had a zip line!

We finished up the day at the Ortega's for L's 1st birthday.  A great time was had by all and the event  ended with wonderful cake.

A great weekend.

Next weekend is furniture time.
