A Wheel Chair

So, I'm not sure if any one else has issues with their little kids, but tonight Abby is having an unusual issue. Abby has decided that she needs some help. She came scooting into the office to let me know that her legs don't work anymore and she's going to need a wheel chair... Random, Yes... I guess she has some of the weirdness that I had growing up... How do you even respond to a child with that kind of request?

Swim Season

One of the nice things about living in Arizona is it's blazing hot in the summer which makes pool time much more enjoyable. This year we had Parker in swimming lessons again with Bonnie. He freaked out the first session but after that, he enjoyed it. We're glad to say that he is much more proficient with his swim skills and he enjoys playing in the pool without a floaty. During lessons Abby was able to have some fun and practice her swimming. Bonnie has a unique style of teaching but it worked well for our kids. You know it's a traumatic experience when you pull into her neighbor hood and the kids freak out (not in a good way). By the time lessons finished Parker was going off the diving board and having a blast with it. We don't feel safe enough to have a pool of our own yet but swimming is a needed skill that we wanted the kids to learn early.
