Sadie has a completely different approach to swimming. She prefers to keep her head under the water and her arms back. She's afraid to get started but once she does, you can't stop her! She has to do it all herself. Since they can touch the bottom in the shallow end I let them both go on their own and practice. (With my supervision of course)
Sometimes I forget that just because they are walking, talking, feeding themselves going to the bathroom themselves, doesn't mean they are done learning new and exciting things. Everyday I'm amazed at how grown up they are becoming. Today I was completely shocked by Grace asking for something she wanted in a normal (not whinny) tone with a please at the end. She's barely 3! Sadie has a long way to go before she learns that asking nicely for something gets her what she wants a lot quicker.
I wish I could explain how odd it is to have two kids the same age with the same up bringing be so completely different. And they were born the way they are today. Grace being so easy except for sleeping, and Sadie being so hard except for sleeping. They are about to turn 3 and I can't believe how time flies!
Our day started with a birthday party for Lily and Brianna. (Sadie and Grace's twin cousins who are 13 days older)
This is before we headed over to Dave's friend Bobby's dad's house. I probably would have gotten some pictures of the fireworks if I didn't have a sleeping child in my arms throughout the whole thing. Sadie will seriously sleep through ANYTHING! And we were pretty darn close to all the action. But in the above picture we were in front of Dave's brother's house doing what fireworks we could considering all the good one's are illegal in AZ. And Grace's hair is getting seriously blonde from being in the sun so much.
