Last week, we started three back-to-back sessions of swimming lessons at CLU. Yep, we’re going to be pool rats this summer. We’ve loved the Parks and Rec instructors, and I’m hoping that swimming five days a week for six weeks will help the kids get really comfortable in the water. We’re invited to so many pool parties and beach days now that they’re older that I want them confident and safe! And Sarah and I coordinated again this summer so that James is in the pool at the same time as my kids, and Janie and Ellis can play together!
I realized that a big reason the girls disliked goggles was the elastic twisting and pulling their hair. I found super cheap lycra caps on amazon, and now their hair is safe from tangles!
Ellis is definitely Janie’s best friend. Even on the days she sees him twice in a day, she always gushes, “ELLIS! Play Ellis!” Sarah and I also think she loves that he’s still a little smaller than her, so she can push him around when he has a toy she wants.
I just noticed that their swim caps are their assigned colors:)
Of course! And Janie will get pink eventually. No fighting this way!
What do you mean “assigned colors” ???
Tommy=red
Elizabeth=purple
Susanna=yellow
Janie=pink
We use them on backpacks, cups, water bottles, plates, towels, anything that might get confused!
