Well, we’ve had a busy weekend. We’ve gone twice to the pool, moved our new King size bed in, gone to gymnastics, had two playdates and been out for dinner twice. All since Friday night!

Edzèa and her Daddy started their Saturday morning gymnastics class together this weekend. See pics. Tracey and I watched from the bleachers. It was amusing to watch the Dad’s with their kids! Tim was surprised/a bit disappointed in Edzèa’s capabilities in gymnastics or lack thereof. She is on the young end of the scale in the class and can only do so much. I’m not sure what he thought she’d be doing but obviously more than she is capable of at this time. She is good at rolling down the angled mats, walking with one foot in front of the other on the balance beams and has just started to bounce/jump on the trampolines by herself. This is a big jump from November. Literally!

On the other hand, her language skills are skyrocketing. Every day she continues to link more and more words into long sentences and complete thoughts/actions.

Swimming is a favourite and she now blows bubbles and throws her face into the water whenever she feels like it. She wanted me to take her on to the diving board on Friday night but I refused. She fixated on having a life jacket on so I would take her. Not happening until she can swim. Sorry kiddo.

Daddy and Edzèa now have a Sunday swim ritual too.  I stayed on deck today and took pics. Normally, we come to the earlier swim where there is a lane available so that I can swim while they play but we were too late for that today. Tim was having his sleep-in day in our new KING SIZE bed and we missed the noon swim!

P.S. Potty training continues to improve. She catches # 2 most times and is at least constantly letting us know when # 1 is in process. Doesn’t have much control on that one yet though.
