Summer Fun

I absolutely love summertime and being outdoors. We've already gotten into some busy activities with Spence and Jaidyn and have enjoyed watching a lot of "first" for them. They have been troopers for us while we spend some time on the road. Spence has enjoyed his first visits to the library for story time. Now that Kindermusik is on a short break until summer session begins, I'm still trying to get him to be involved in some kind of activity that requires him to follow instructions. As you see in the picture, he still doesn't get the concept to "sit down" for stories, but we're working on it. Jaidyn, on the other hand, is crawling now, so she just goes where she wants to, but will usually stay real close by her mama. It's a lot of fun and Spence loves the part where he gets to pick out what books he wants to check out and take home. He's got his own library card and can check out up to 30 books at a time. We stick to 4 for him and he will pick out 1 for Jaidyn. We've also started swim lessons on Saturdays that will go for the next 4 weeks. They LOVE it! Spence has already been chosen to do more advanced training, so he was real excited about that and Jaidyn has fun kicking and splashing in the water. This does concern Spencer and I though, because they love it too much and Spence is not scared one bit of the water. We've decided to keep the pool covered at the house until we get a gate put up that will lock. At swim lessons he was trying to get me to let go of him, so he could swim on his own. Not happening! Spencer and I have really enjoyed spending time with the two of them and watching them grow and learn.
