Whistle While You Work

I am trying to teach my boys a good work ethic. Vacuuming always seems to be intriguing to them, so this is where we start. At this age it is a fight because both of them want to help at the same time, do you think it will be the same situation when they get older? I can only hope, that I will never have to remind them to put their clothes away, to do their jobs or clean their room.

Xander is fearless. Chris taught him to be self-sufficient in the water as he jumps in he swim to the steps and the does the process all over again. he loves the water. After a while with the swim jacket on he say,"out of water" and starts trying to take the life jacket off. Well, he only says,"out of water" so I will take his life jacket off. He thinks he can swim fine with out it. Then he does the jumping process again with out the life jacket, this time I am near to catch him, but only after he has gone all the way under the water. He won't let me get close other wise.

I think I have a Michael Phelps here, for actually both my boys, maybe we will see them in the Olympics, or maybe I am just a mother talking.

We are so blessed to have a pool because we swim in it at least once a day, it is a very part of our lives.
