Everett had his first swimming lessons last week. You can see from the first picture he was a little apprehensive in the beginning. He asked me, "You comin' right back to get me, mama?" But, then the water baby in him took over and he jumped right in. Even for a kid with no fear, going down the slide head first is quite a feat! He actually swam a little, too. By the end of the week, Ms. Carol was able to let go of him for a few seconds and he kicked his little legs and swam. I'm so proud!
Everett likes to paint. He's good at it...just look at the use of color, the bold brush strokes. He uses the brush, cleans it between colors, uses a paper towel to blot the brush...for a while. The pictures show what inevitably happens next. He mixes everything together, squishes the paint through his hands and then eats it. That stuff is non-toxic right?
Everett got a new "big giant" sand box this weekend. Donnie and I built it ourselves out of just about $30 worth of lumber and screws! I won't mention how much the sand was...why is that stuff so expensive? Anywho...still much less expensive than the store-bought kind and big enough to make sand angels!
When I saw Everett "mowing" behind his daddy, I ran inside to get the camera. These are so cute that I'm speechless...life is good! Donnie used to follow behind his daddy with his plastic lawn mower (I bet they didn't have plastic Weed Eaters then!) Okay...so not completely speechless!
