Little Kicker

For Collins Birthday we signed him up for soccer and swimming. He doesn't know yet, we are going to tell him on his birthday which is Feb. 7th. He has been wanting to play soccer for a while now, he keeps on telling us before he starts he needs cleats so he can run fast. I think we will get him some cleats to. (anybody know of good place?) The class is called Little Kickers. He cant officially be on a team until he is five, so this class teaches him how to play soccer and at the end of the lessons he will play in a game. I think he will love it.
For his swimming class... he can kind of swim by him self but i think a little extra training will be beneficial. He is so funny ever sense he was little (seven months old) he has loved the water. It kinda scares me because he swims under water and holds his breath which seems like forever but he comes up with a big smile on his face. Don't worry he is not in the water by him self we are always with him. I think this class will really help him learn the basics of swimming. :)

And it begins...

I have been dreading the day ever sense MadaLynn was born when she would talk back to me. But i never thought it would come this early. Before i tell this story I do have to say that Maddie is one of the sweetest little girls you will meet but she has a temper, i am not trying to portray her as a mean little one. So, the other day she wanted her drink and she is in the habit of going eh, eh, eh when ever she wants something and is not saying the word well i was telling her to say "drink please", and she looked right at me and said "shhhh". I didn't know whether to laugh or what. I know she wasn't really being rude or talking back but i don't know how to tell a one year old that we don't do that. Haha. Oh Maddie what would we do without you? :)
