POOL!

Now if you can just imagine Darren's pointer finger STRONGLY pointing towards the windows/door...knowing that we have to go outside and in the car to get there. Smart child. On Sundays the boys have started taking an Adaptive Aquatics swim class. IT IS AWESOME. It is for special needs children, but since they were low in numbers, they accepted Trevor as well. They have wonderful volunteers that worked with the kids as I just waded in the pool and occasionally signaled for Darren to cut it out and be quiet. A really nice high school boy worked with Trevor. Trevor can swim...but this class takes place in the 4 ft area...no standing. So he is really learning he fundamentals of swimming. God bless the gentleman (and I mean gentle) that worked with Darren. Darren loves the water...but didn't like the idea of being separated from Mommy too much and let's just say he let everyone know! He wasn't crying...he was just being Darren. I tell ya, there was a time I never thought I'd hear ma-ma...goodness:) He was yellin it from the mountain tops that day. He'd kick a couple times...it was like SEE..I did it now give me MA-MA , MA-MA. This patient man was not bothered. He picked up on Darren quickly and would start to bob him up and down to make him laugh..and then go again. The funniest part was when they were playing red light green light. The instructor would hold up the color and the kids would have to swim. Well, it was a green light and she said to Darren, " now come on Darren, let's see some more arms" with that he had began flaring his arms from side to side. I looked at the instructor and said, " Well, you got your arms," She replied," Yes, I DID" It was hilarious.

On Wednesdays we have been going to Oak Marr just to swim and play. That has been working out really well. Trevor likes to dive and rescue Spiderman in the water....while Darren likes to initiate "Shark" by saying...ba ba ba bum....(JAWs) his version is just ba ba. Then I chase him and kiss him of course once captured. That's the latest.
