adventures in basketball, water, and space

Last Saturday we went to do some work at church, and Bryce played his own little version of basketball. All was well and good until I had to rescue the makeshift basketball from the hoop! He made two whole baskets though, (both of which got stuck) so he felt pretty proud!

Tanner was his faithful sideline coach, fan, and cheerleader.

The swimming lessons are continuing on, and we are slowly making progress. The boy who would NOT put his head under water, is suddenly a big fan of it. . .. after his last lesson, he just kept dunking his head over and over again just for the heck of it! Wahoooo!!!! But with each step, there's a new fear to conquer, so we are hoping today he will take another step and make a little progress. Today we are taking seashells to put on the pool steps, because the money, although motivating, is a little tough for him to pick up. We think seashells will be easier to grab. I am hoping they are going to work on some floating, kicking, paddling. . .some sort of MOVING along with the going-under-water part. He has three more lessons scheduled right now, but we may have to add a couple more.

And tomorrow he is signed up for a morning long camp day at The Little Gym. Each week they have a themed camp during the summer. Tomorrow Bryce will join in for Space Week! It's been almost a whole YEAR since he's been there for classes, which is hard to believe! He is really excited. . .I hope he won't fuss when it's time for me to leave him there!!! We're also hoping to sign Tanner up for class in the fall. (We were thinking it might be a WONDERFUL birthday gift, if anyone is interested!! ;)
