Swim lessons

e


Today was the last day of swim lessons for Valynn and Mason, which meant it was fun day. They went down the water slide and got to play in the different pools. They both have come a long way in just the few lessons this summer. Valynn will jump off the diving board and swim to the surface by herself, she still needs a little help swimming to the side. She will also go down the water slide by herself and no one needs to catch her. Mason doesn't get mad if his head goes underwater, he didn't like his face getting wet and now it doesn't bother him. He was busy walking all over the pool where it was two feet deep without the instructor near him.
Kyra is our little Houdini, she learned how to unlatch the gate going downstairs. She had a tough day on Wednesday. She fell on the cement at swim lessons and had a big red mark on her forehead and then later that day she tripped in Valynn's room and hit her bed and got a bloody nose. Kyra had her first haircut yesterday, just a little trim so she can see. She is currently into reading books and Valynn is always ready to read a book to her.
Valynn is counting down the days to Kyra's birthday which also happens to be the first day of kindergarten.

Kyra's haircut is cute and she is growing! Poor girl learned a lot about falling it sounds like. That's how it goes though huh? When Joey runs full force on cement I cringe watching his flying feet, hoping he doesn't catch the ground. He looks as happy as ever though as long as he stays up. Katie also starts Kindergarten and is so excited to ride the bus with her big sister and brother. I can't believe summer is wrapping up but I'm excited for Fall and the cooler weather. Take care!
