Every year since Kye took his survival swim course at Tiny Bubbles I've been a HUGE believer in their program and in swim education for our children. Britt also did survival swim and Tess will have the survival course next winter as well. The survival swim course is pretty intense. It's 4 days a week for 5 weeks, 10 minutes each lesson. My goal is to REALLY work with my kids at home to keep up their skill set so they only ever have to do the survival course once . After the survival course I work with them a lot at home and do follow up lessons as needed and then do swim lessons each year as a refresher for them. The least expensive time for lessons is in Feb! The winter rates are lower and it's better to get the kids in the water before pool season kicks off. Last year I only did 5 refresher classes for Britt and regretted it. We were in the pool a TON with me being so pregnant but that belly also made it hard for me to work with Britt the way I neede...
Kye and Britt had Dad's Day on the same day this year at school which made it tricky for Zach as he tried to spend time with each child in their classrooms. I was so glad that their mom's days fell on different days! I was able to enjoy each child without worrying about rushing to another classroom. I guess that will be one benefit of having two kids at different schools next year! Britt was very, very excited to have me come to school with her. She kept saying "you coming to school Mommy?" Kye always gets pretty pumped about the food at these events so it made my heart happy to have Britt be so excited about spending that time with me rather than just looking forward to grubbing out ;) Every time I visit Britt's class I'm so overwhelmed. I am for sure not cut out to be a preschool teacher! I think I tell her teachers "I don't know how you do this" like 15 times every time I visit! When I used to babysit I was always more comforta...
Kye, I am so proud of the little man you have become over the past year. You have matured so much. I love our nightly ritual of throwing the football before bedtime. You are always excited and you have a good arm like your mom. It is crazy to think that you are 6 years old. It seems like not that long ago I was fist pumping when you were born. I always wanted a son of my own. I hope that I can teach you what it takes to be a good Christian father and husband like my Dad taught me. Those are the two most important things that make you a man. Not strength or athletics or all the other things the world wants you to believe. You already show so many good qualities. You have a tender heart for others, and truly care about them. You are a very hard worker as well. Over the past year you have developed so many skills and are a huge helper. I love working on proj...
