We have just finished our first week of swimming lessons and the kids have done really well. The hesitancy that Ashten had for the water is gone and she is learning to use her "ice cream arms" to get where she needs to go. Treyson has done so good with listening to his teachers and only jumping in when they say it is time. He is also doing his big arms and learning to kick. They love going to their lessons every morning and I have been very pleased with their progress.
I think summer is practically here and I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited for the water fun that we have only when it's hot, but I'm not sure I'm ready for it to be 120 degrees and feeling like a walrus because I'm still pregnant. Hopefully it won't be too unbearable. Yesterday was a pretty nice day so I took the kids to a splash pad to play. They were so excited and it only took Treyson about ten seconds to run through the middle (no surprise). Ashten took a little longer to become sure about the environment, but she caught on quickly and had just as much fun. I just sat on the side and luckily it wasn't too hot that I melted. I'm sure in a couple of weeks I won't be able to sit on the side without having to get wet. During the dead of the summer these cool little splash pads are the only things that help us survive the heat. I don't know why it took St. George so long to build them.
