This afternoon as we were driving, Erick told me that next year he was going to be Izzie's swimming teacher. Of course she objected, but I had to smile because just over a week ago he had no interest in swimming whatsoever! I was more than a little frustrated because it was like pulling teeth to get him off his towel and into the water, but something happened that last day of swimming lessons that I can't explain. I think he put the arms and legs together for the first time, or something? Anyway, now he can't get enough, and I'm thrilled! So, the remainder of the conversation went something like this:
Erick: Mom, I didn't know some grandmas don't know how to swim. Does our grandma know how to swim?
Me: Yes she does, our grandma is a good swimmer!
Erick: Well, maybe when we get home we can find a big swimming pool and me and grandma can go swimming together!
Me: She'd probably really like that, kiddo.
Erick: And MAY-be we can even have a race! Just the two of us, and I can beat her!
Me: Sure! I'll let her know so she can practice up!
So, if you read this grandma, consider yourself challenged. :-) Odds are the pools will close on Labor Day, which doesn't give us much time, but we'll have to work something out. I think it's funny he doesn't challenge me or Justin... I think he'll be surprised to find out that grandmas really CAN swim.
