Austin started swim lessons again at the beginning April. We head to the pool every Tuesday/Thursday evening for about 45 minutes of lessons each night. He is loving the water and we are hopeful this will give him a refresher course before summer starts and we are at the pool all the time. Colton has enjoyed going to watch Austin practice this time around. He watches his brother, as well as spends his 45 minutes walking around making new friends with other kids and their moms. The first picture is Austin and Colton waiting patiently for swim lessons to begin.
This is a picture of Austin working on his back float kick. He is supposed to keep his hands up by his head and sort of flutter kick. So, in the next couple of pictures, his teacher Emily, is working on helping him to keep tummy out of the water as well as keeping his legs straight. He does a pretty good job, he just needs to work on keeping his head up too!
I took Colton to the Dr. on Monday because he said his ear was hurting on Saturday and Sunday. Turns out he has a ear infection in his left ear! So, he is on amoxicillan for the next 10 days and is taking his medicine like a champ! While we were at the Dr. they weighed him and he is now tipping the scales at 30.8 pounds! His heart rate was 134 (normal for a 2-year-old) and they also took his blood pressure (102/68). They took out a tiny little blood pressure cuff and took his blood pressure! This was new to me and the nurse said it is something that is now regulation; as of January 2013 anyone over the age of 2 has to get a blood pressure check. He cooperated with the nurse and the Dr. very well. The Dr. even commented that he was one of the most well behaved two-year-olds she had seen in a long time. We are just busy as usual around our house. We have no activities this evening and it is raining like crazy here so I'm looking forward to a nice quiet night at home!
