The summer is speeding by. Isaac is a whirlwind! He loves to swim. We visit Grandma & Grandpa almost every day so that we can practice swimming in their pool. He has a little vest that he tolerates that we use most of the time. Sometimes we practice swimming without the vest at the start of our swimming session and sometimes we practice without it at the end of our swimming session. I think that we have the next Michael Phelps on our hands. Isaac gets so upset when we make him get out of the pool. He asks for, "More! More! More!" with his signs and sometimes has been known to jump back into the pool if I'm not quick enough getting him out. The good news is that Grandma & Grandpa have an above-ground pool so we hide the ladder to keep him out when he shouldn't be going in. I don't know how we could spend time at their house if they had an in-ground pool that lured him with the sparkling water!
Climbing up the ladder to get into the pool! "I'm a big boy. I can do it all by myself."
Mommy loves this swimsuit, but for some reason Isaac will not allow me to put it on anymore. He favors the suit with animals all over it. I need to get a picture of him in that one.
Practicing. We are working hard to use our arms and our legs at the same time. He is getting good at using them together, but doesn't have enough strength to hold himself up so we need to put a hand under his tummy. Poor little guy had to be banned from the pool for several days due to an ear infection. He was more miserable from the ban than from the infection if you ask me.
We've been to the Orlando Science Center twice this month with Isaac's big cousin. He loves her so much and thinks he can do anything she can do. She is such a good cousin and really does well with Isaac. Here they are in Grossology playing on a lifesize version of the game Operation. They both had so much fun in this room! I was amazed at how many activities were available for little guys like Isaac and how they were intermingled with activities for older kids. Yeah!!!
We've also been to Epcot several times this summer.
We've also been to Epcot several times this summer. Grandpa works at the Animal Kingdom so we are very blessed to be able to go to visit the Disney themeparks for free. Zoe is spending time with Grandma and every week they study a new country. Friday is fieldtrip day and we go to Epcot and visit the country Zoe studied earlier in the week. The first time we visited was July 10th and we went to France. Isaac loved the music in the French movie and enjoyed eating a strawberry tart. We were supposed to visit China on the 17th, but my car's airconditioner died and it was in the shop. Zoe and Grandma went without us, but they said it didn't count because Isaac wasn't able to go.
While Zoe shopped for a souvenier and I took pictures, Isaac was able to color a mask in an art area. Until next time!
