We had a fun day today full of swimming adventures. In the morning, we went to our weekly swimming and sports classes. Simon takes swimming and Elias takes sports class. They both enjoy their respective classes very much. This morning, Auntie Kristy came as a guest to swim class and brought her underwater camera so we could get some fun shots. Today was the second day that Simon has been fully submerged under the water. He did not enjoy it today. Last week he sort of took it in stride…he wasn’t happy, but he wasn’t upset either. This week he was not enjoying it, and he let everyone know! He did really like the kickboards, and he enjoyed floats too, so it wasn’t all crying at least. Simon generally is a water baby, and enjoys splashing a lot.
Here is a short video of one of Simon’s underwater experiences:
In the evening we went to the Pumpkin Bob at Harman Swim Center. All four of us went to a special open swim. Each of the boys got to choose a pumpkin which was floating in the water. Then we just got to play for the rest of the time. Elias had fun doing jumps, and Simon had fun just hanging out. We saw a bunch of people we knew there. After swimming, Elias got to play a few games and win a few prizes. The whole thing was a lot of fun!
Here is Nathan as we experimented some more with Auntie Kristy’s underwater camera. It’s quite charming, really (We did not force Simon underwater this time….but you can see his little chunky leg:
