Ben and Sam

Swimming part 2: Last night we actually made it to swim class, on the right week, right day, and right time. We all had fun. The instructor tells everyone ok.. today we are going to .... (yesterday was work on kicking).. and then we basically play for 30 minutes.. and tried to get Ben to kick.. he did pretty well..

We purchased a new bike for Pete -- and since the weather had been nicer.. we've gone for a few evening treks.. Ben's chair is attached to my bike .. so I usually pedal him out.. and after we turn around to head home.. I switch and make Pete pedal him home.. it's surprising how much he adds to the back of the bike.. and sucks going up hill!

Today - Ben helped me plant some seeds so hopefully we can have a garden this year.. I gave up on him staying clean.. and encouraged him to get dirtier... he is a boy after all.. and boys are pretty icky..
