Mommy, excited? I excited!!&#8221; Over and over. Why?<br \/>\n    Because today was her swimming lesson :) The girl likes to<br \/>\n    swim. I think she was one of the older babies in her class and<br \/>\n    clearly very comfortable in the water. She blew bubbles (but<br \/>\n    not when the teacher was looking!), put her chin and mouth in<br \/>\n    the water (drank half the pool) and did lots of kicking and<br \/>\n    splashing. We even practiced floating. She had a great time,<br \/>\n    but kept asking if we could go to the Splash Park now. I think<br \/>\n    it&#8217;s hard for independent kids to be in mommy&#8217;s arms for 1\/2<br \/>\n    hr. She just wanted to get down and go. Around the same age I<br \/>\n    took Lex swimming a few times at an indoor pool and he loved<br \/>\n    the water but hated that I couldn&#8217;t put him down. Today Lex<br \/>\n    also did an awesome job! He had the choice of reading a book on<br \/>\n    the bench next to the pool while Eve had her lesson, or going<br \/>\n    to the daycare room. He choose the bench and sat perfectly and<br \/>\n    read his magazine for her whole lesson. Their reward for such<br \/>\n    good behavior? Time in the Splash Park!<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4604-786924.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4604-786920.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">Not the greatest picture, but it&#8217;s so rare that she<br \/>\n    lets him hug her and here she&#8217;s even hugging him<br \/>\n    back!<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4606-797432.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4606-797423.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic;\">Lex looks<br \/>\n    like a water ninja!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4609-787012.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_4609-787006.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">This was in the Splash Park after her lesson.
