Best Part of the Day - Began swim lessons and although I had my stuff scattered all over the pool deck (sigh), it was still pretty great. Quinn did AWESOME (I don't mean from a swim standpoint, I mean from an attitude standpoint. He cried for two minutes when I left him to get in the water with Wes and then happily participated for the rest of the time. Even wanted more swimming when lesson was over. Love it.

Worst Part of the Day - I channeled my mom and made Wes go to the gym and to swim lessons. He's still lethargic, but seems on the mend. Still seems kind of mean - but we had to get out of the house. There are only so many episodes of Wonder Pets one person can stand before throwing a shoe at the television.
