Pretend City and Swimming






This was a packed weekend of activities for our house. Saturday was round two of swimming lessons and a birthday party. The swimming went a little bit better. Cole actually made it into the water and made it through class. There were some tears though. He did the class with Mary this time which seems to have helped. For the most part he was ok, but he wasn't so sure when the instructor had him. A little freaked out and some tears were shed. (And maybe some screams.) But we have been taking him to a friends pool during the week and he is warming up to things.

On Sunday we went to the opening of a new children's activity center called Pretend City. It is a huge new center that is set up just like a city, but all indoors. The kids can ride around in pedal cars, farm, pick produce, go to the grocery store, play at the beach, play firefighter, sing on stage and a number of other really fun activities. The whole place is geared to kids ages 1-6 and there was plenty for Cole to do. He really enjoyed himself. We will definitely go back.

We are in the middle of a heat wave which makes our house a little unbearable in the late afternoons into the evening. Hopefully it breaks soon.

Take care.
