Swim lessons! Gaming! Birthdays!
Jimmy had his first swim lessons today at Sandy Pond Beach, and they went well! He seemed to enjoy being in the water, even if he was a bit tired (it was almost naptime). I love his reactions - when we finally got in the water he gave a big gasp right at the waistline... heh. But second time I tried he was okay with it. They had all kinds of little games and exercises, but his favorite was reaching for and "swimming" (with me doing all the work) to the floating toys! Of course, then I had to convince him not to put them in his mouth, with the icky lake water! But all things considered, he did great. He loves water - he's going to be quite the swimmer!
We had our first group of people over today (besides Mo and Ray) for our game day. This time we got a babysitter, and Jimmy actually slept for almost 3 hours, so it was WONDERFUL. Yay! Okay, so I died in the game and took everyone with me, but still, so much fun! We just have a bit more work to do on the house and we'll be ready for a real housewarming party!
Then after that it was our neighbor Vincent's birthday party. Fun! I let Jimmy have a little taste of cake frosting. Hope he enjoyed it because he's not getting it again until his own first birthday! We got Vincent some little play kitchen toys, since his mamma said he was always in the kitchen with her. I also got to see my other neighbors with babies there. We are so going to have a momma's group in our 'hood.
And now, I'm exhausted. I'm going to join Jimmy for peaceful slumber. Hopefully he won't wake up at 2:30 am again to practice getting up on his knees and trying to crawl. That kid is going to be a handful. We're going bed shopping tomorrow for a king size bed, finally, so we can all be reunited, and Tom won't get hit all night! Man, I'm so sleepy!
