For the last year we've been taking the girls swimming on Sunday's at Children of the Sea swim school. The place is awesome and we have a lot of fun during lessons. Until age 3 the classes are parent/tot so since Andy and I are always in the pool we never get pictures, but finally we have a few. The girls have two weeks left of this session and then they graduate up to classes without parent involvement EEK. I'm nervous for that but I think the girls will do great. They are little fishes!! During the course of the year we've had some rough times where they didn't want to swim but we just kept at it and now I think they actually enjoy it. We also used to trade off each girl every week so they got the chance to swim with both Andy and I but recently we've been swimming with the same E and it's actually working better. Andy swims with Emily and I swim with Ellery.
We need to add another activity for the weekends. I'm thinking of gymnastics....does anyone have any places you would recommend in Tigard or SW? I've realized that now that the girls are 3 we've ventured into the no parent involvement necessary category....and that sounds great...I think. I've always had these visions of sipping my latte while watching the girls lessons and chatting with the other moms, but now that we're actually at that point I'm not sure I'm ready to let go. ;)
