Deja Vu all over again...

This morning Evan began swim lessons! It was a familiar scene at the rec center pool, with little ones in tiny bathing suits entering the water for the first time. The interesting thing was that Evan wasn't as apprehensive as Tyler had been when he took his lessons (though it's hard to keep him away from the water these days!). As soon as I took his clothes off and set him down, Evan was ready to go!Hold on pal!! First there is an introduction from the instructor that we all have to listen to.

What makes this class even more fun is that our friends Tiffany and Forrester have their youngest, Cameron, enrolled in the same class.

Cam is about 6 weeks younger than Evan, but he outweighs him by quite a few pounds! He's a big boy - sooooo cute!! Here's a flashback of Evan and Cam from last spring:

Time to get into the water!

If you look really closely at that one, you can see the smile on Evan's face. He loved it!!

He even let the instructor use him to demonstrate:

He looks like he's sleeping here, but it was just a bad shot!

I was so pleased by how much fun Evan had in the water. He didn't complain once. Probably the best part about it for him was the one-on-one time he got with Daddy. Tyler doesn't often allow that to happen! Speaking of Tyler...

It was mighty hard keeping him away from the water! He REALLY wanted to go in. I finally had to take him down the hall to the gymnasium and let him run around for a while. Tiffany brought Chelsey down too and Tyler had fun chasing her around!

In two weeks, Tyler will begin a class called "Zoom Around the Room" that is for 2-5 year olds. It coincides with Evan's swim class, so it will keep Tyler otherwise occupied! And in mid-May, Tyler starts his toddler swim class. I'll be taking an exercise class starting in April, so between the three of us, we're giving the county recs department a fair amount of business this season!!

When we got home, a few certain somebodies were pretty tired...

And Tyler took over a 2 1/2 hour nap in his crib! All the while I worked on all the laundry that hadn't been done since before I went to California. Whew!! I'll be at that all day....

Here is some other fun stuff from this week. First, Tyler and Evan having their first taste of Girl Scout Cookies.

and Thin Mints:

And here is Tyler practicing his newest skill on his brother:

Ahhh... it's good to be home!
