So Happy Together: Parker Can Swim!

I'm skipping ahead a few posts, but I'm too excited to wait; Parker can swim! He still needs to improve his technique, but he can swim independently! I can stand about ten feet away from the stairs and he can swim to me. I can then turn him around and he can swim back!

This first swim was last Friday and I'm sure he'll only get better this summer. Hooray for Parker!

Parker: "No sol-is-ting" Mom: "It says, 'No soliciting, which means they don't want people to come sell things. Parker: "Yeah, people don't want someone coming door to door to sell stuff like taco salad." Ha, ha! I don't know where that came from, because I have never heard of a door-to-door taco salad salesperson, but if there were we might buy it, because we love taco salad, even Parker does," Ha, ha! 1/13

He would have a drawstring like Woody's that you could pull and he'd say things like, "I think I'll go fly my plane" or "you can play my ipad". He would have a little remote control airplane and a little ipad that is as big as your phone." The kids nickname for my brother Peter is Pebo. He has his pilot's license and shares his ipad when he comes to town. Apparently he's make a sweet action figure, because even still, a month after the initial comment, the boys still pine for the Pebo toy, ha, ha! 1/13
