Swim Lessons

Jeremy is determined to teach Savannah to love the water and so far it's working. Tonight he was teaching her to float on her back and "swim" to him. She had so much fun and she didn't even cry when she went under. Meanwhile I'm freaking out a little, but with a fish for a father she should be fine. Jer is installing an alarm on the slider as we speak and we're going to look at a pool gate this weekend. The first drowning of the year happened yesterday and it really upset J. It made me sad, but I tend to be one of those "it won't happen to me" kind of people. I know I live in my own little world, but if I think of all the things that can go wrong, I'll have to be put in an institution.

One of Banana's favorite things to do now is read books. She brings me Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White at least three times a day. If I'm sitting on the floor she backs up onto my lap or she takes me to the chair she wants me to sit on. She knows the characters in the books and loves it when I sing the songs that go with the pictures. I can't wait to see what she does at Disneyland. Only sixteen days to go!!!

She is going to lOVE it! I can't wait to see all their faces. Ike doesn't remember being there so I am excited to go with him. Good luck on the swimming thing, Jer is a great teacher though so she'll get it. I don't ever want to see your own version of Annie floating by herself on video!!

Karie-I love that you are keeping up this blog. It is so fun to see everything that Savannah is doing! I totally think that the floating on the back thing is so cool. I sent you that email, right? Have fun! See you soon!!!
