Today was our official first day of summer! School ended on Thursday but the boys went to daycare at school on Friday while I finished packing up my class and doing all the end of the school year "stuff" that needed to get done. So today we went to Grandma Lou's house. The boys all wanted to go swimming. Off they went to put on their floaties.
Ron bought Levi a floating device that has a steering wheel like a car. When Ron first put him in it he started to cry. He wanted to push the horn but also didn't want to let go of the wheel because he was so nervous. So, my little guy found a way to make it happen....he pushed the horn with his forehead! It was funny. He quickly got used to being in the pool and had a blast floating around.
Last year Evan spent the summer wearing floaties on his arm and a tube around his waist! He also refused to let go of the side of the pool. Today, Ron told him to take the tube off. He also had him let go of the side of the pool and swim across the pool to the other side. He was scared and needed alot of encouragement but he did it!
Seth learned to swim without floaties on! He got real nervous but he sure did it!
Tomorrow is Father's Day and we're going back to Grandma's house for a barbecue and another chance to practice the new skills they learned. I'm so proud of all that our boys accomplished today! I'm also proud of how fast they are growing and what great boys they are!
