swim lessons

Be Warned: Hard Core Bragging Ahead....

I am taking Annabelle, Andrew, Gwyneth, and Hanna to swim lessons every Monday and Wednesday. All at the same time. All four kids. Ages four, three, and one. To the pool. At The Same Time!  

Ok, so some women do this all the time. Some women have 10, 12, 19 kids and take them to the pool. (I'm calling B.S. on this one actually.....if I had 19 kids, I  would have a reality show and would never go anywhere by myself with the kids.). My point here is that some women are equipped for this, others are not. I do believe I fall in the latter category, so I'm just glad I survived! 

I'm bragging because it's a lot of work getting four little kids to the pool. Its really hard to keep your eyes on four kids and I'm terrified of little kids near water. So, big thanks to their wonderful teachers and to the lifeguards for keeping them safe and keeping me calm. 

I'm not a martyr and I didn't just do it for the bragging rights. I wanted to help Don while his nanny is on maternity leave. Most importantly, I love spending time with these four kids. I love watching them grow up together and build memories. Oh,.........and sometimes it feels really darn good to be able to say "I did it!". 

Time for a sleep over! Swimming and rough housing makes for four tired kiddos. They went to bed early and easy!
