Summertime!

When we were preparing to potty train Hayden, I tried to think of a big incentive for him once he was all done potty training (back when I was dreading a months-long battle toward the potty)—and I found it.

Swim lessons

Hayden latched on to that idea like no other, even though when I first mentioned it, it was the middle of winter. And from the day we potty trained him, he hardly let a day pass without asking if we were going swimming.

Like the mean mother that I am, I made him wait three whole weeks until lessons started at the city’s outdoor pool.

I think it was worth it:

Aw, that is so fun! I think swim lessons are a blast for the kiddos!

Hello,
I also have a daughter and she’s 17 months who love to swim 🙂
in my part of the world, summer has officially ended while yours is just starting 😉

Hope you’ll have a blast!

Hayden is part fish! Rebecca looks adorable.

Hayden looks like such a big boy now!
