Today Kason finished the best swimming lessons. I signed him up for a small group lesson at our gym, but no other level 2 kids signed up for that time, so he ended up having 6 private lessons with the instructor named Stephanie. He got lots of great one-on-one instruction and progressed quickly. He learned how to do the front crawl and the backstroke, along with smaller things like treading, finning, breathing out the nose, kicking off with "superman arms," etc. Abby & I swam too while he did lessons, so we all had a good time.
Wednesday was Tige's birthday. It was not his most exciting birthday as he worked a really long shift that day and got home barely in time to tuck the kids in. But my mom was in town the day before, so she watched the kiddos while we saw a movie. I made a yummy ice cream cake with mint-cookie ice cream in the middle of the chocolate cake layers. We shared it with my mom and our neighbors since we didn't want to tackle it by ourselves. His present was his bike he got last week. (This of course counts for birthday and Christmas presents for the next decade!)
I caught Abby doing this yesterday. Thinking about trying to stand. I smell trouble!

Guess I forgot to mention that the cake is HUGE when it's done. :) Kason looks like a good swimmer, I didn't learn to swim until college, and still can't breath through my nose. :(
I'm thinking that trouble is definitely on the way. I still remember when my youngest decided to just let go of the couch and start walking at 9 months...I was just laying down to relax after a long day...Oaklee was holding on to the edge of the couch and just let go and walked across the room. I thought about pushing her over and telling her NO, but I knew it still wouldn't stop her. She has gone NON-STOP ever since! She will be starting kindergarten next week! Time flies...enjoy every minute!!!
Cake looks really good! If I would of called Tige on his Birthday when it was on my mind it would have been at 5:50 am on my way to work but at least I wouldnt have forgoten....Sorry Tige.
I bet Kason loved the one on one swimming lessons! That is nice that you and Abby were able to swim as well. Happy Birthday Tige. That cake looks amazing. What a good wife you are to do that!
