Will-O and I took the kids Y for some swimming. It was great fun as they both love the water. Scarlet has really improved. Perhaps it is due to merely growing and getting physically stronger (since she swam maybe twice this fall), but all of one sudden she is pretty darn independent anywhere in the pool. Liam loved it all, but after about 30 minutes declared, "Done". Thank heavens--no tears regarding leaving for him.
Worst Part of the Day-
Scarlet is the official family packer. Whenever we are going to a relative's, a friend's, or the Y, she gets busy and packs the necessary items for all-snow pants, snacks, athletic shoes AND dressy shoes, etc. (She even remembers swimming diaps for Liam--which I have been known to overlook.) She becomes incensed if she can't have full control over the packing, so I let it be. It's also kinda helpful. So today did what I have been doing for awhile and let S. work her packing and organizing magic. I didn't think to check the contents prior to rolling my eyes once I was changing in the locker room. Scarlet naturally choose the pinkest and tiniest suit I own...not so fun to get in and out of the pool multiple times chasing Liam around in a string bikini (with serious non-toneage of winter happening) when every other woman is fully covered in Speedo one-pieces...(I do believe Will-O thought it was pretty fun/funny, though.) I told her for future packing info, bikinis are more for pool parties or the beach and fully covering one-pieces are necessary for the family fun of the Y. "Oh", she said, "because part of your buns are coming out of the suit?" Yes, that's right. Also weird looks from other moms thinking I think I am something special...ahhhhhh no, no, no. Avert eyes, avert eyes.
