Today mommy had to work in the morning, so we were not able to go to Kids Zone like we would have normally. Instead, after I returned from work, I did some packing in the garage (despite the very brrr cold), then was going to go to gym with daddy and just leave you at home with Kevin. Then I got a better idea--we could go swimming! Lucky for us, Fountain View Fitness has an awesome pool setup: there is a lap pool and a warm water "family" pool, and it just happened to be open swim time. You were totally on board with this idea--you ask often about the pool when we pass by it on the way out from our workouts/trips to Kids Zone. We haven't been to a pool in quite a while, so we were certainly overdue :)
You don't know how to swim just yet--you've always had a problem with getting your face wet/in the water. This time, however, you got brave--with your goggles on, you held your nose and started practicing putting your face in the water. This went well, so you kept trying for longer and deeper...before I knew it, you had plunged all the way in, head under the water!! This is a HUGE step for you--so very proud of you!! Daddy was up on the 2nd floor, walking on the track, and told us afterward that he could see us and was amazed and proud of you, too! So very wonderful.
We came home and have been just hanging out here, as we are trying to save $$ and also, as I mentioned, it's really brrr outside--current temp is 7°F. Hoping we get some snow tomorrow night like they have predicted. Won't be much, but it'll make the cold worth it :) Love you lots ~maman
