Quick Post

Ryan is at her fourth swim lesson and we haven't had to leave early since the first class. We have learned this year that she hates the noodles. Keep them away from her and she will only say "all finished" or "get out" a dozen times instead of screaming it 100 times. Last year, she loved the end of the lesson when each kid gets a turn sitting on a fish floatie in the middle of a circle while we sing the goodbye song. She always wanted to be first. This year, she still loves the singing part (saying "more" after each round), but don't you dare try to sit her on the floatie for her turn. She wants no part of that. Very interesting....... She does do really well with swimming after balls and climbing out and jumping in. She is the only kid who has gone all the way under water when she jumps in. So, she isn't scared of the pool. She is just being almost two. Let the power struggles begin.


One other Ryan update- she took a nap in her BGB (Big Girl Bed) at our house yesterday! We decided since she was doing it at Mamaw and Grandpa's house we needed to quit being lazy and start having her do it at home. (It is really hard to not do what you know works when it comes to getting your kid to sleep!) We pulled out the bottom twin of her trundle bed and she took a two hour nap in it! Well, I am pretty sure she did. When I opened her door to look in on her after two hours she was sitting on the top twin bed reading books. From the looks of her bed head she had napped and woke up and decided to read. I am very proud of her! Hopefully, in the near future, Chris and I will suck it up and try her overnight in the BGB.


And a quick blurb about my sweet Emma. She is rolling ALL OVER the place! She is amazing! She can roll all across her play mat and turn herself all the way around in her crib. She is really loving this new mobility! And I need to be careful and not leave her on the bed anymore.
