Where's the rooster?

Nothing is more interesting than waking up in the morning to the sound of "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" I must've heard it a dozen times. It wasn't any ordinary rooster, it was Ethan! How does a 2 year old know that roosters crow in the morning to wake people up?

Swim Lessons

The last two summers we've tried swim lessons with Ethan. Neither really worked - too young, wrong instructor? Not sure. But, Ethan loves the water and with our upcoming June trip to Turks and Caicos (which sits between the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands), he just needed to try lessons again and become more comfortable in the water. He loves the bath, but a bathtub and an ocean are two totally different things. If I could just pour some salt into the bathtub along with some coral and fish, he might be better prepared for what's to come. We'll wait on those things because they aren't my favorite! If I could scuba dive or snorkel in a pool, I'd be most happy. Worrying about what is going to touch me, sting me or eat me under the water is a problem! The fact that I swam with sting rays in the Cayman Islands was a miracle! To be honest, I wasn't swimming. I was clinging onto John for dear life so the miracle is John didn't drown. I want Ethan to have an amazing ocean experience so here's to swim lessons 2x a week. He's already going under water. Yay!

Nothing is cuter...

...than a little boy who puts his finger to his forehead and says, "Think, think, think" when contemplating something. It reminds me of something Pooh Bear would say.

First Fat Lip

I guess every boy will eventually get one. Luckily it wasn't from a fight, but horsing around on the swings at daycare. We still had fun visiting a local park the following day. Now we just need the weather to warm up!
