SWIM CLASS


Athena took her first session of swim class without a parent.

The first class was a disaster.

Poor Cal, her teacher, spent the entire class saying

"Athena, get over here. Athena, come back."

Now we have only one class left.

She is much improved on her listening.

I think she just didn't get the concept of

having to listen to the instructor and

having to do what he says.

She gets it now.

She loves to swim and she is quite good at it.

One more session, I think, and then

Paul plans to erect an 18ft above ground

pool for her in the back yard.

Talk about spoiled!

A COUPLE OF CUTE STORIES

On Sunday I took Athena and Eden outside for a sled ride. We came upon the tobogganing hill and I decided to let them go down a couple of times. We came to a little rise about 50 feet before we even got to the top of the hill. It was far off to the side. I chose (stupidly in hindsight) to let them go over this hump of snow. And go they did. The sleigh kept going and I was running after them in knee deep snow. I couldn't catch up and of course they were headed for the only bush in the area. They slammed right into it!! I couldn't believe it. Hoping they were uninjured by the branches I heard Athena cry out " Mom! I'm lost in the forest!" I knew all was well at that point but it could have been worse.

Second story. I had both girls in the front of my grocery cart at Superstore. Hoping to keep them amused while I picked up some groceries, I put a large white woman's sunhat on each of their little heads. Of course my little one said, "Look Mommy, I'm a lamp." She cracks me up all the time.

PAPA AND EDEN TAKING A NAP

IMAGINATION TO SPARE

This little gal has such a vivid imagination.
And she is smart as a whip I might add.
She was eating an icecream cone the other day.
She saw that it had started to melt and
was running down the length of her sugar cone.
She said to me
"Mom, there is sap dripping from the tree.
I will lick it up like a Pygmy Marmocet."
Oh my.
I didn't even know what that was
until she taught me.
Go Diego, Go!

SNOWMAN SNOW AT LAST!!!
