Stroller rolls off train platform, Train rolls over it, baby is alive!

AMAZING that the baby is alive!


No more swim?

Katie has been taking swim classes for over 6 months now and they aren’t cheap.  The main thing they teach toddlers are safety procedures.  For example, if they fall into the pool, they should be able to turn over and float.  They should also be able to crab walk along the side of the wall to get to a step or they should be able to pull themselves out of the pool.  So for six months we’ve been going once a week and she has not been progressing with the floating.  The teacher suggested that we need to go twice a week to see some progress.  I thought she was just trying to sell us more classes but I talked to other parents and it seems to be true.

Since it is winter time and I can’t practice with Katie on the weekends, I decided this would be our last month of swim class and we would start it up for twice a week when summer starts next year.  So we have a few weeks left and all of a sudden, Katie did great yesterday!  She crab walked, pulled herself out and did well with the floating!  argh..should I still cancel at the end of the month??
