Swimming Lessons

Yesterday was my day off with the kids. Lexie got up a few times the night before, so Greg got up with Caleb and let me sleep in until 8 a.m. When I finally made a presence, I was informed the "Light man" was here to put in our new security motion lights. The "Light man" was super sweet and just happily went along with his new title. Caleb monitored his movements most of the morning. Then we enjoyed some painting and board games together while Lexie was entertained in her swing. Overall it was a wonderful day off with the kids. Last minute I tried to run some errands with Caleb which wasn't the best idea in hindsight. Caleb had his swimming lesson to get to at 7p.m. and Greg had to be at a parent soccer meeting at 6p.m. So I had to rush home to make a quick dinner, stuff Caleb with at least half of his plate, change Lexie, quickly nurse her, then throw them in the car to make it to swim lessons with 1 minute to spare. I was exhausted, and we are about to begin soccer too. What are we thinking! At least Caleb enjoyed his swim lessons. He had so much fun with his new teacher and cute little swimming partner. She had them going underwater and floating on their backs. I was surprised Caleb went along so easily with that, but I guess that's the benefit of someone else trying to teach him things.
