My little swimmer

I am so grateful that I can still have the presence of mind at times to step back and realize that this is a special moment. I have so many things on my plate and I am constantly trying to multi-task, but it's like I can hear God stopping me at times to pay attention to what is actually going on. Bam Maw and I took you guys to my Aunt Pat's pool last Saturday while your daddy had to work the speedway. Kylie asked me so many questions on the way there. Who is Aunt Pat? Why haven't I met her? Are all the boats hers? ...........etc. It can drive me crazy at times, but I love your inquistive personality and the million questions you have. I put this crazy inflatable bathing suit on you and then some floaties to add to the mix. You have always been one to hang out by the steps at the pool or cling to mommy or daddy to venture out. Once you realized that you could truly float, you were all over the pool. It brought tears to my eyes for several reasons. One you were so stinkin proud of yourself that you were "swimming." It was so satisfying to watch you just brimming with triumph. Two another sign that you are growing up. You "swam" all over the pool and even pulled Blake along in his raft. Blake only had swimmies on and he was not about to float anywhere! Blake, you spent your time at the steps and getting out to of course eat or run down to the other end on your tippy toes the whole way. I love those little flexed calves! I really think that you are the cutest boy ever and you have so much mischeif behind those eyes. You did decide to let me throw you in the pool to Bam Maw's waiting arms. It just didn't feel right throwing you, but I did repeatedly after you discovered how much fun it was. As long as she didn't let you go under! What a great time at the pool! There was no crying, not once for those two hours!
