As a to-be-big-brother it is important that I learn to swim so that someday I can show my little sibling what to do!

Today I went in the pool FULLY clothed. This made my body REALLY heavy… especially since I had a diaper on too. (Mommy said the wet diaper must have weighed about 5lbs…just of pool water!!!!)

I am doing fantastic. Tomorrow will be my last day of swimming before vacation. I do not know yet if I have to go back for more lessons. My teacher said I am doing fantastic, even if I still scream through the entire lesson.

I am REALLY stubborn though and can hold my breathe very well. If I see the wall I will get the wall… I can hold my breath a LONG time…

I am awesome at swim-float-swim-float FINALLY! 🙂 I am starting to like the pool… just not the lessons!

Getting the wall

Tired and ready to go home!

Tonight I DID NOT want to go to sleep. Mommy and Daddy came in to check on me a few times and kept telling me to go to bed. I finally gave up and just slept on the floor. Mommy put me back into bed and tucked me in the right way.

I am still getting used to the news of a new baby on the way. What will that mean to me? *shrug* I still like hippos though!

Mommy & Daddy wanted everyone to know:

I really wanted a hippo… Instead I get to be a big brother!

I would have settled for a bear or giraffe…

*sigh*

Here are some more pictures of me at the park (Miss Jamie took these ones). I am AWESOME at bubble blowing now! 🙂

Just me…

Miss Jamie took great pictures of me!

HAHA. Bubbles! Gotta love my concentrating face! Bubbles require squinting!

Today I went in the pool with Mommy & Daddy up at Grandpa Howie’s house. It is Howie’s 65th Birthday today! His twin Harry too! 🙂 I had a nice lunch and played a bit too. I will see everyone tomorrow for Mother’s Day! 🙂

I did AWESOME at swimming today. I didn’t fuss as much and only threw up a LITTLE on Mommy. I listen well and do what the teacher asks me to do. Hopefully I will be done with my lessons next week.

After swimming I went to the park with the momsgroup. Ethan was there and we had a WONDERFUL time.

Ethan going UP the slide… I won’t even go DOWN…let alone UP!

We hunted bears and hippos.

I found buttons to press.

I found a HOLE to look in!

We had a snack of raisins.

I even learned how to blow bubbles. Mommy couldn’t get a picture of it… but maybe Miss Jamie did?!

I was so tuckered out afterwards that I tried to fall asleep in the car. Mommy then said we could go out to Honeymoon Island and see the new nature center. Sadly, it wasn’t open just yet. We got stuck on the draw bridge on the way back. I thought that was REALLY neat to watch the bridge go up and down.

I was in bed and asleep for my nap by noon!
