September 1, 2010 "Successful swim lessons"

So the kids have started their 3rd week of swim lessons this week. Although, it's really only week 2 because their instructor was sick for 3 of the 5 days the first week. But, anyway, things are definitely better than the first week. Today, both kids floated without help, for a few seconds. This is a huge step from the first 2 days when they just screamed bloody murder. They are feeling a lot more comfortable in the water and with Carmen, their instructor.

Keira also started potty training on Sunday. She decided she wanted to go on the potty and hasn't looked back. She's been dry during the day for 4 days now. This is of course about 2 weeks after I bought a jumbo sized box of diapers. Oh, well, I'll take it as a minor loss if it means no diapers for good. Yeah Keira!

Kevin is traveling again this week. He's in California till Friday night. Then Dayton, Ohio next week. We miss him already.
