Swimming Lessons

The three boys started swim lessons this June. Benji was 2 1/2, Gabriel was almost 1 1/2, and Matty was 8 months. Benji did not like laying on his back, he was not a fan of his ears going under. By the end of the lessons, he was swimming around with his "noodle", opening his eyes under water, letting go of the edge and kicking back up to it, swimming between me and Edmund. And then afterwards we would go into the locker room Benji would sing really loud in the shower :-) Gabriel was not happy at first, but is now a little fish. Matty learned how to kick, he didn't like being taken away from me, but the last day he had a life jacket and floated on his back the whole time, almost falling asleep.

I love this face "don't make me do it mommy!"

A Beach Day

We go to the beach a lot- morning, afternoon, night. wind or waves. Matty has enjoyed the beach since his first trip at 2 weeks. He is still really enjoying eating sand...sometimes he just leans forward and sticks his face into the sand....

Benji is a digger. He hides "treasures" and digs for them. He could do it for hours.  He loves his shovel and "raker"
