While I don't miss more dirty diapers and angry tantrums, there are things I feel like I miss out on while I'm at work and Matthew spends the days with Benji. One of those things is the many times they go to storytime each week. To counter that, we've taken swimming lessons on Saturday mornings at the YMCA for two sessions. Clearly I don't expect him to become a champion swimmer from this, but it's great Mommy and Benji special time.
(And bonus points to those who can identify the title quote.)
Hi Daddy!
Benji is not destined to be a champion backstroker.
He definitely prefers swimming on his tummy, much like he prefers sleeping on his tummy.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall...
We're learning a bit how to climb out of the pool.
Ducks are still a favorite part of swim class.
After class we sometimes play with just Mommy and Benji in the small shallow section. Benji particularly loves the lane markers and tries to swim towards them.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
