First Day of Swim Lessons

The boys started swim lessons today.  They both LOVED it and did not want to leave.  Porter probably drank so much water because he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.  He has a smile plastered on the entire time.  Carson remembered so much from the past year.
 Carson did really well waiting for Porter's lesson to end.  I could barely keep Porter out of the pool while Carson had his lesson.  Hudson was happy and content the whole time and he was trying to steal some goldfish from Brittany's diaper bag. 

Some pictures and videos for Grandma and Grandpa.

Swim Lessons

Carson started swim lessons last Monday. Every day he wants to go to the "sa-nunning pool." He likes his teacher and always says hi to her (the entire time we are in the car on the way to swim lessons).
Day 1: we had to chase him around the yard to keep him out of the pool until it was his turn. Then when he went under water he had a melt-down. Day 2: he screamed and got out of the pool and ran away throughout the entire session. Day 3: he sat on the step, waited his turn, walked over to the deep end himself and didn't cry a tear. He also didn't want to get out when the lesson was over. He was still sitting there while the next class got in. Day 4: he was the only one sitting on the step while the other kids were going all over the place.

At the end of the lesson they get one piece of licorice and they get to choose between 2 colors. Carson ALWAYS tries to take both out of her hands.

We still have 3 more weeks and he is loving it. Porter enjoys going to, but I think he wants to be in that water with his brother.

Pictures of what Carson has been up to lately

Lately Carson has been slightly obsessed with putting on shoes... any shoes... his rainboots are the easiest so he wears those the most. As soon as he wakes up in the morning he finds some shoes to wear. Here he is with his dad's shoes.

I was doing some cleaning this morning and Travis saw a cool baseball looking shirt on the bed. He was saying how cute it was. I got this outfit from a friend for Porter (thanks, Deana). Travis thought it was for Carson and he ended up wearing it around all morning. He went outside to play for a little while with just this outfit and shoes. I am sad that there were not any pictures of that. I am pretty sure that the legs are supposed to be full length pants... for Porter! Oh yeah and I gave him a haircut Saturday night. I won't use a #1 guard again... sooooo short.

Today was Carson's first day of swim lessons. He did a really great job, I am excited to see how much he learns in the next couple of weeks. He cried a lot today, but I think it will get better. This first picture is before swim lessons began. Happy as can be. The second picture is afterwards when I told him to say cheese. He got a piece of licorice at the end and had a death grip on that thing for about 20 minutes. Then when I asked him if he just went swimming he kept saying no. And then he fell asleep about 3 minutes into the car ride home. All that swimming (and crying) sure did wear him out!
