Way back in February Will got a remote control car for his birthday. Ruth stepped on it the first day. So when my friend emailed me a deal of a sixty dollar one for $25 we decided to try again. It's already not working at full capacity (what are we doing wrong with these things?!?!?!) but Will has had some fun with it!
We started swimming lessons! The kids are stoked and they love it! It's longer than I thought--I assumed everyone was thirty minutes lessons, but Ruth's are an hour. Luckily, they have a shallow end that starts at the walkway and slowly gets to about three feet deep, with some tiny fountains to play in and they let Molly and Will play and play during Ruth's hour lesson. They all fall asleep on the way home--these teachers are legit (Creole's man, they are tough! Will got smacked on the head with a pool noodle when he dived the way she said not to--haha! I worried about how stern they were because Molly was so nervous, but they just whip her around in the water and she'll just float--because she has to! Ha!) and have learned so much already, in only two days! Ruth and Will are learning diving and back stroke and free style. Ruth's is a little more advanced and they are really strict on her form, they are just teaching the basics to Will. Molly is learning star-fished-back floating, kicking, holding her head under water and coming up to breath, etc. I think it's going to be such a great month of lessons!

That makes me even more annoyed at how the swimming lessons here teach them NOTHING. They're so lame. You're lucky they are teaching them so well. Also remote control cars no matter what you buy never last longer than a week.
