For the Love of Frozen Waffles


Photo-A-Day #2905

Caught Andrew reaching for a frozen waffle.

Took Andrew to swimming today. He enjoys being int he water but hasn’t quite gotten the concept of moving his arms and legs to swim a bit. He does hold the side of the pool and climb out pretty well. He doesn’t do too badly jumping. I do have to say 1-2-3 quickly though because he wants to get back in really quickly. He enjoys it though and has fun, I have fun too. It completely knocks him out afterwards though. I can take him home and he sleeps the whole way. He even sleeps on my shoulder as I bring him into the house and up to his bed. I love holding a sleeping child.

Been working on getting all of our existing Skylanders completely upgraded through Heroic challenges. I’ve done almost every one of the new Giants figures (down to finishing Ninjini). I’ve got a bunch of series two figures to upgrade and then on Easter Eva’s getting a couple more figures so I think we’re at about 30 left to upgrade, that is before any new ones come out. We’ve got six left to find in the wild.

Swimming Lessons with Little Man


Photo-A-Day #2842

We put Andrew into swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago. We missed it last week. This week however we were in a new class because the class that we were in at first ended up merging with the new class. Andrew loves being in the pool. He splashes around, laughs and shrieks. While he has no clue how to scoop and kick he is getting exposed to the water and he likes it. The one thing that he does pretty well is he climbs out of the pool. We’ll have to keep up with classes for both kids so that they continue to be comfortable in the water. He certainly was excited to get to the pool today.

Ready to Swim

Don’tcha just love that face. There is a photo that Allison took of the two of us in the pool but I look like I have a yeti vest on. Which, since I am a pretty hairy ape (except for my shoulders) would be accurate.
