As the days here in Cali are coming to a close, I have to reflect on what my children have accomplished this summer. (This is all despite the fact that it is 2:30am, and I should be sleeping. ) Punka and Lil Man have learned to swim! They swim the length of pool, over and over again; following the hubby and I. It's simply amazing. We started off in June just getting them to dunk their heads. We bought them vests to free up their arms, so we could teach them the basics. In about 2 weeks, Punka & Lil Man were swimming w/out them! It's amazing how proud a parent can get. I mean, to watch these children swimming about freely in 5ft of water is incredible. They can swim above water and under water. Their skills get better and better every week. They can even swim to the bottom. The hubby and I sit in amazement.We taught them well, and they are great swimmers!
As for the youngest, Tytie, just this week, he started to jump in and go under water holding his breath 90% of the time...simply amazing. He reminds me of how daring Lil Man was @ his age. Tytie is learning how to say a bunch of words, climbing like a fool, and understands everything! He is such a comedian too! You would think by the third child you would believe how fast they grow up, but its mind boggling. All of the kids are learning so much: Lil Man can now write is name, legibly; Punka is starting to read; both Punka and Lil Man are learning colors/numbers in Italiano; Tytie learns new things everyday, and is going to be 15mo old tomorrow...i know all this learning will continue, and I can't wait to see what my children learn next! We are so blessed to be on this adventure, who knows what's around the corner waiting for us!
