Grocery shopping is a family event each weekend, and the boys and Mommy have so much fun at Tom Tom getting our weekly supplies. Daddy usually hits up Central Market for meat and veggies while we get the staples. We usually stick to the list without buying random candy/treat things, but Lincoln always begs to get the seasonal pre-made and ready-to-bake cookies. Mommy is pretty good about not caving to these not yummy cookies by telling him that we will make our own cookies for dessert. On this Sunday, Lincoln asked for the Valentine's heart cookies. He received the standard answer that they weren't on the list and that we could make our own delicious cookies at home. He thought for a second before stating his response: "Mom, you are going to change your mind that you will want to get these Valentine's heart cookies. But by the time you change your mind, they won't have Valentine's heart cookies anymore. You know they change them out, and we will all be sad that we didn't get the Valentine's heart cookies. So let's just get them today, ok?"
Clearly his logical explanation was too good, and the boys enjoyed Valentine's heart cookies for dessert!!! (Homemade cookies are still way better, but these smiling faces were too cute!)
Monday evening brought a new semester of swimming lessons, and Beau was very excited to be reunited with Ms. Kerin. He swam with Ms. Molly last semester, and it was a little less than perfect. There were a few criers in his class and in the class next to them, so he sometimes caught the crying bug. He and his two new classmates are the same age and skill level, so the class was really fun. He did his best swimming ever!
Lincoln was promoted to the Swimmers class, and he did an awesome job in his first class. They really work hard on learning technique of the different strokes and swim the entire length of the pool. The two girls in his class are a little older, but he kept up with them! Lincoln has always had Ms. Kerin, and she knows how to get the best out of him.
When we started Mommy and Me swimming with Lincoln, it was super terrifying for him. The kids doing "real" swimming seemed so old and so good, and it never occurred to me that Lincoln would ever get to that. There might have been a tear shed by this Mommy that Lincoln is one of those big kids now that is a super swimmer! Of course, we have Ms. Kerin to thank for always making swimming lessons fun and challenging. On a super cold January night, the boys spent their time in a warm pool having fun!
