Beach Bunny and Little Kahuna

Athena started swimming class this week at the outdoor pool in town. While the bigger kids are having swimming lessons you can pay to swim in the baby pool with your little ones. It works out perfectly since lessons are 45 minutes long it gives me something to do with Alton while we wait for Athena. Also, he likes to play in the water but most of the pools don't have open swim until noon and it's just not quite as fun to take an overtired toddler to the pool in the middle of what should be nap time;)

Guess what Athena did today at swimming lessons? She jumped off the diving board!!! I couldn't believe it! She just marched right up when it was her turn and jumped right in to the teacher waiting for her in the water below:)

The jump! The splash!
Hurray!This morning I made a bunch of home made meat balls that we're going to have for dinner tonight for spaghetti and meatballs. She was watching them bake in the oven and told me a few times how good they smell and how excited she is to have them for dinner. As we were walking out of the pool she announced to me "Mom now I love spaghetti and the diving board"
