Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

Andrew's Swimming Lessons

Andrew started swimming lessons for the first time this past week. He loves the water so much we decided this would kill two birds with one stone: allow him to go swimming every day and teach him how to be safe around water. We signed him up in Coolidge and so far I've been super impressed. There is always at least one teacher per child in the Tiny Tots class Andrew is in. The pool is always nice and clean. And it was definitely an awesome deal compared to Florence or the YMCA.

This is Josh, one of Andrew's swim teachers. And boy does Andrew love this guy.
Sometimes there is more than one teacher with Andrew.
Swimming around without the noodle.
Andrew wanted to go off the diving board during free time.
So do you think he actually jumped?
Well, see for yourself.

I'm impressed that he actually jumped! He looks like he's a little fish in the water.

That's so great!!! The sooner he gets swimming the better. I'm glad he likes it.

Yeah, I don't know how a water-hater like me gave birth to a kid who would live in the water if he could.
