Want to see our new "TICKS"????

Well - our babies have completed a week of swimming lessons. I would not say they are swimming like fish by all means, but they have learned lots of new "ticks". (as Phleps calls them)

This is our conversation today coming home from the pool -

you also need to know that the big girls headed to the beach today with their Grandy and Daddio and we will be joining them on Tuesday.

Our Conversation -

Phelps: Mom, Where are Lawson Joy and Katherine? (we have been over this again and again)

Mom: They are at the beach, remember.

Phelps: We are going to go and get them, right?

Mom: Yes, on Tuesday we are going to the beach to get them.

Phelps: Can we stay a little while when we get there? I want to show Grandy, Daddio and everybody my new "ticks" in my kini (bikini).

Mom: Of course, sweetie. We are going to stay for 5 days.

Phelps: They will be proud and clap at me. Right, Wat? (Watkins)

There is no doubt Watkins did get the best behaved and willingness award at swimming lessons.

He pretty much did whatever Mr. Eric asked him to.

Check him out making BIG splashes!

Phelps on the other hand made it in the pool 2 of the 4 days of lessons. Here she is explaining why she just can't get in today.
Watkins just kicking away. All by himself!

Phelps did refuse to swim half of the days, but she did manage to learn some new "ticks". I guess she learned from watching???

Here is Miss Priss with floaties and her new "bobbles" on her head.

I guess that is how they think they are worn.

Little Miss can swim with these floaties, which she refused to do until yesterday. She learned to kick successfully, and upon lots of pushing she can swim under water for about 5 feet. I am very proud!

Here is a funny picture of her jumping to me.

What better than to hang out with your side kick in the pool?

Our two babies having fun in the pool.........

Watkins is very PROUD of himself!

And so is his Phelps!
