Week 29: Swimmin'

That's what Charlotte says all the time now: "Swimmin'?" She asks for her swimmin' suit and swimmin' diaper, and she's ready to head to the pool at any moment. Last week we went not once but twice. Tuesday there was a cub scout party at the lazy river pool, and on Friday we went to our local pool. Zach was happy for us to get some shots of him underwater, Gabe loved floating and also walking between the pool and lazy river (which he called the maze). Charlotte enjoyed the slide and is getting used to sort of floating/swimming with her puddle jumper. We are feeling a little more relaxed at the pool this year with Zach on his way to swimming, Gabe less afraid of the water, and Charlotte able to touch in the shallowest areas.










Other stuff going on: I love this mug Frank got for me at Starbucks in Las Vegas.

Gabe lost two teeth in a week or so. One of the top ones was already gone, so now he's got three out. We are always relieved when they fall/get pulled out because then he's complaining less about eating!

And possibly saving the biggest news for last, we've been putting Charlotte in underpants during the day for the last week or so. A lot of signs say she's ready to start potty training, but we're not so sure. She cooperates some of the time but isn't able to tell before she goes. We're just cleaning up a few puddles and doing a lot of laundry. She doesn't like pull-ups, but she's okay with us putting diapers back on at night.
