There is not much else to do in this Texas heat! Did I really tell my parents to come visit us in August? After spending all of August in Germany last year I think I simply forgot how hot it gets in Texas. Oh wait! It's not August yet? It sure does feel like it! We have been going swimming in our Neighborhood Pool almost daily and the girls have turned in little Water Rats. Lily tells me about every five Minutes "Look Mama! I can wimming!" (She has a little trouble pronouncing the "S") and she really gets around great wearing her floaties. And Emmi has really learned how to swim! She can dog paddle about 5 yard distances and can swim even further on her back.We'll be working on swim STYLE next year. Today she learned to float on her back (She can only do it with her eyes closed which looks a bit creepy watching her float around in the pool). She still won't dive but she really wants to and has been practicing dipping her face in the water for a little while (okay, for about half a second that is, but that is actually quite an improvement from her flipping out about a drop of water getting in her face). Baby Steps :) !
Lily loves drying her hair under the hand dryer!
Straight out of the water...
Poolside Snack.
On the way to the Pool. Lily HAD to wear the skirt and don't try to carry the lunchbox for her...
