While Lex was at his lesson yesterday Eve
\n and I swam in the current pool. It’s like a river that goes
\n around in a wiggly loop, with water jets creating a current
\n stream. It’s good exercise to walk in and they love swimming in
\n it. I usually hold on to Eve (despite her attempts to swim by
\n herself) and she kids her legs and wiggles her arms and ducks
\n under the water. Yesterday a lifeguard offered us a flotation
\n device that I’ve seen a lot of the kids wearing. It straps
\n around her belly and goes over both arms. Hard to explain, but
\n popular. I didn’t realize that some of the ones I’d seen around
\n actually belong to the aquatic center. We put the floatie on
\n her and I let her go! It keeps her relatively upright and she
\n just bobbed along in the current. It was so funny. I bought
\n them both life jackets, but they don’t love them because the
\n jacket rolls them over onto their backs. Safe, but not so fun
\n to swim in. This thing keeps their heads up and is really
\n popular with the kids. Anyway, she was bobbing along, having a
\n good time. At one point she had a sweet smile on her face — a
\n closed mouth smile, which is unusual for her. I pulled her over
\n to me to give her a kiss and she spit a mouthful of water at
\n me!! I was shocked! She laughed and laughed. Little
\n monkey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
