She's been asking to start piano lessons for a while. Like I could say no, even if I wanted to!
She just turned four, so of course we go very slowly and practice for maybe 10 minutes a day. But she loves it and she is doing quite well. I admit, it's very enjoyable to work with her.
Abe and I borrowed my brother's commercial grade electric scooters and had such a fabulous date riding them around the city park.
We all had fun riding them the next day before handing them back over. I'd love to get a couple of these-- so much fun!
When then kids have a meeting on the trampoline to discuss matters they do not what our input on.
These four kiddos had swim lessons this week. We haven't had any kids in swim lessons since Clark was about 5 year old. Abe has taught them to swim by taking them swimming and just playing in the water with them. Since pool time has been limited due to COVID, we figured we'd put them in lessons. Also, Elinor is a swim teacher at the pool they went to. This was one of the best decisions of the whole summer! Thy loved everything about swim lessons. We will most definitely go back next year. Actually, Faith will likely be a teacher there next year as well.
Both Greta and Peter passed off their levels.
Peter especially took to the water-- they had lessons every day and every morning Peter watched the clock and perseverated on the time until it was time to go.
The great thing for Peter is he can swim by himself-- not great, but he can independently get from one end of the pool to the other.
Also, Peter was determined to dive off the diving board on his last day. Mind you, he didn't know how to dive and had never even dove off the side before. But no matter. He had made up his mind.
Ha ha ha! YES!!! We have gotten so many laughs from this video. And don't worry-- he loved it.
His chest was pretty red, but he was thrilled with his performance!
Cannon and George learned loads of news skills and are entertaining thoughts of a morning swim team next summer.
I was super impressed with Fuller's Swim School and highly recommend them to anyone looking into swim lessons for next year. They are are full up for this year.
One day I went back in the afternoon to watch Elinor teach for a bit. She was wonderful-- so calm and thorough and her kids were swimming great. It's been a great summer job for her. Hard work, but very rewarding.
And once more, because it was just so good!
It was fun this afternoon when Elinor and several work friends stopped by the house. Peter was shocked to see his swim teacher away from the pool.
