Swim Lesson!

This morning was Aaron's first ever swim lesson at the base pool. I was expecting there to be quite a few 'parents and tots' there but there were only 3 tots signed up, but only Aaron and a little girl, Emma, showed up. They had so much fun! Today was just to introduce the kiddos into the water (i.e. blowing bubbles, kicking, splashing). They had so much fun, the only distraction for Aaron was that he thought the water was too cold (which it was a little bit). The swim instructors were so nice and patient with them, especially Aaron, he kept telling us he was cold as he was making audible noises of being cold. 8-D What a little stinker!

Hopefully, he'll get used to the water temperature more than just the water itself! :)

What a big boy!

Well, Aaron has been potty trained for a new months (whew)! But Michael and I have recently started to put Aaron to bed in his big boy undies, and to our surprise no messes! I'm in total shock! I was thinking that it was going to be a long drawn out process of him understanding that it is very uncomfortable going potty in his bed. Michael and I bought more sheets, preparing ourselves for the sleepy-eyed sheet changes in the middle of the night. I'm so glad Aaron has not made us get up in the middle of the night because he has "gone" in his bed! What a big boy!

My Sweetness!

I truly thought today was going to be a rough day for Aaron. After having both sets of grandparents visiting for his birthday, he has become quite spoiled! After Nana and Papa Pritchett left Sunday morning, I was sure that Aaron was going to throw a huge fit about not wanting to go to school. I didn't want to tell him he needed to get dressed for school because that would have just set him off on a tantrum (which was not something I needed at 7:45 in the morning). Much to my surprise, after I gave him the 10 minute warning, he looked at me and said, "Because I need to go to school today?" It was just so sweet and cute! I was expecting him to fight me tooth and nail. I guess my Bubba Bear is growing up.

He just always does or says something that just amazes me, and then he'll do another thing to remind me that he is just still a toddler. For example, I get him to his classroom and they are about to have story time with one of the teachers, I look over at him and he is sitting down in the circle picking his nose! Ah yes, he still has so much more growing up to do, but he is most definitely getting there!
