Rollerskating and Swimming




It's been a big weekend. We started Saturday morning with Jack and Sadie's first trip to the roller rink. I love rollerskating and am eager to be able to skate with the kids and now we are on our way. While it will be a while before we will all be racing around together, the kids did learn how to balance on their skates and get up when they fall. 

Today we spent the afternoon swimming at the pool at Pud's condo. The kids swam independently for the first time! Sadie and Jack are both very comfortable in water, including underwater, but today was there first time that they swam without any swim aides. It was a big leap forward. The kids can swim underwater independently.They need to build some strength and skill to be able to swim to the surface to take breaths and swim distances, but it was incredibly to see how excited they were to be truly swimming. We'll be spending a lot more time at the pool!
