Bathing Beauties

The past 3 weeks Madie and Noah have been taking swim lessons. So far they haven't learned a whole lot, because they've been too afraid to put their heads under water. Noah's gotten pretty close, but not quite all the way. So, we're trying to work on it. I filled up the bathtub tonight to practice. We had planned to take them to the pool on Tues, but we got storms and then again tonight we were going to go and we had more storms! Doh! So, the bathtub it was. :-) They both did a great job, though with Madie it took some bribery. Needless to say they just finished bowls of ice cream with sprinkles on it!! But, hey, at least I have 2 kids that finally might be willing to put their heads under the water and finally learn how to swim! Livie wanted in on the action after the "lessons" were over. She insisted on wearing goggles, which absolutely cracked me up, because they were so fogged over, she couldn't have seen anything out of them. But, she loved them, so I guess that's all that mattered. Noah also wanted to show off his Transformer tatooes that he got at his friend Ryan's birthday party last Sat., so I included a picture of him showing off his muscles. Another night of silliness in the Trolinger household!!
