If you haven’t checked out the picture share site, I’ve been putting albums on there as I upload them…trying to make it a weekly event.

Aileen is in her second swimming session (they are 4 weeks long).  She is so much further than we thought she would be!  Our cautious Bean is finding she has a little extra confidence in the water.  Tonight was our first class in this session.  The new aquatics director is having them take off the ‘bubbles’ they previously wore about 90% of the time.  In the last class, when the teacher would take Aileen’s bubble off, she would resist and be anything but helpful in getting it off.  When the director told me they were taking away the frequency of the bubble I was excited and very happy I wasn’t the instructor that had to break it to Aileen!  Aileen had no problems with it, surprising me yet again!  In today’s class they never used the bubble.  Aileen, feeling especially confident tonight, actually received several ‘reminders’ from the instructor to stay on the wall.  That is something I NEVER thought she would have to tell Aileen, especially if she wasn’t wearing a bubble!

We’re missing the dad, but doing our best to stay busy in this cold weather as we wait for spring.  I’m doing aerobics and working on getting in some running in preparation for the 1/2 marathon I signed up for at the end of April.
