Lovely Weekend

Saturday: 

Another morning of swim lessons. This time we knew where to go when we got there, how to get a locker, where to change, shower off and then into the pool until  it was time to start. Anna wasn't so clingy when we got in the water, hooray!  definitely more comfortable in the water. When class started we did the same things we did last week. Started by kicking, Anna did a few kicks but was definitely more interested in the other kids. Figures. When I blew bubbles Anna tried but ended up drinking a bunch of water. She spit it back out though. Throughout the rest of the lesson she drank a lot more water. When I was holding her on her belly she would just stick her mouth right in and take a gulp. We chased a little red ball all around the pool for free play time. It was a lot of fun, hopefully next week we'll learn some new things. (And I'll also finally try to get a picture!) 

Sunday: 

Here is Anna's new thing. When she wants something from someone she'll put her hands out like so until she gets it. Every time she does this we say the word please so she'll know to ask for something politely. 

Here's another pic of her playing with Syd. Sydney does not like Anna having her frisbee and has no shame snatching t right from her hand or knocking her over to get it. Anna doesn't get upset, she either pulls Sydney's hair or finds something else to play with. 

It was too cute this afternoon. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and Anna was roaming around the house. I could hear her getting into Sydney's basket of toys. From the kitchen I can see into our bedroom and Sydney was on our bed taking a nap. Anna picked up one of Sydney's toys and walked into our bedroom and held the toy up to the bed where Syd was sleeping, like she was saying "Here Syd, I brought you a toy to play with." Sydney must have been tired because she just ignored Anna. Well Anna walked back to the living room where she emptied Sydney's whole toy basket and got another one. Walked back into the bedroom and offered her another toy. No Luck. After that Anna gave up and just went and played with Sydney's toys herself. What a kind little girl.

Anna also knows to go into the bathroom every time she hears me or Greg start the bath. No matter where she is in the house she starts walking towards her bathroom. Walks right up to the tub and put her hands over the edge. So easy!
