Accident

We spent the weekend swimming and then this happened...



Pictures aren't that great since they were taken with my cell phone but do you notice his nose and left eye?? D thought it would be a great idea to dive face first into the pool on the first step. In case you or your children are wanting to try this at home, not a great idea after all. Let's just say that the accident ended our night of swimming. He cried for a bit but was feeling much better once I gave him a bowl full of watermelon. Remember one of his addictions is watermelon??? Well it turns out that it also heals his pain. Who would have thought??!! Note to self: always have a supply of watermelon on hand! Anyway, before the accident, the boys and I had a fun time swimming and Landon has now become quite the swimmer and diver. He can dive down in the deep end and touch the bottom and really has nice form. Zach worked with him a lot on Sunday and he really is doing swimmingly. :) Dylan of course wants to copy EVERYTHING Landon does and he has no fear of the pool. If Landon runs and jumps in the pool then so does Dylan. Only difference is Landon can actually swim! We have been working with Dylan once he jumps in or is in the pool to reach up and grab the edge. He is doing pretty well so far. No to work on the whole swimming thing. In case you are curious...


here is what Dylan looked like 1 day after the accident. Looks like he was in a pretty crazy fight! Too bad the pool step won.
