First Days of Spring



Ty just got out of the bath and is playing with his favorite toy...a ball. That happens to be his favorite word also.

Tyler still loves Mr.Bear. He tackles him!

We started swim classes at the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center this week. Ty loved the water. He was trying to put his own face in the water most of the time. He loved the "Humpty Dumpties" the best. It is were you sit them on the wall of the pool, count to three and they push off and spin you spin them around in the pool and sit them back on the wall. He loved the spinning in the water part. I actually let him push off and go under water a little and he loved it.

It is just an introductory class, so they sing songs and do little exercises. The instructor Brianna, gives us tips here and there. She was telling me to try teaching him to blow bubbles in the water...he is starting to understand, but doesn't quite get how to do it yet. Although...he does know how to blow...he was playing a harmonics the other day at a friends house. Thursday's class was in the therapy pool which is like a big hot tub:) That is because it was 65 degrees outside and the pool is outdoors. These pictures are from Thursday's class.

Tyler's friend Clayton is taking the class also. It is fun for him to see a familiar face. It's nice for me also to spend time with Kristy. She is the one that told us about the class. We will miss class the first week of April because we will be in the midwest visiting family. We (tyler and Mommy) are both looking forward to seeing Grandma and Grandpa Olson and Knight. We also will get to see Baby Carter and Aunt Christy, as well as Gigi Knight and Jackson. Gigi Jackson's are coming home early from Florida to see us:) We were surprised to hear that yesterday and are super excited to see them and everyone else!






Words Tyler is using now: ball, tickle, pizza pizza, caw for car, bika for bike, bee for bree, caw taw for carter, aney for Laney, papa, nana, nee nee, ke for keys, no, yeah, bea, deah, daddy, mommy, ott for hot, bubbles
