Hayden is such a fish and it cracks me up. He can balance his 2 fingers on the bottom of the pool and kick in a perfect belly position for learning to swim. I am so glad he likes the water so much because he starts his swim classes on Tuesday at the YMCA. I met his instructor while I was there yesterday and he is wonderful. He works with only children 3-5 and also teaches preschool one morning a week. I explained that Hayden doesn't really like to leave us very much and he said he guarantees he won't want to get out of the pool when he sees all of the cool stuff he has planned. I am so glad to get him learning to swim because he is still SO short and can't touch the bottom of any pools, so I think it's very important for him to be safe.
Today we visited Edith Ball with our usual group of friends and the kiddos had a great time together. We attempted about 20 minutes of walking the zoo after, but at 107 it was just too brutal. I promised Hayden we would go back tomorrow morning when they first open to try to see some animals.
After swimming, we came home to MeeMaw who was waiting to take us all out to ice cream at Baskin Robbins down the street. Unfortunately, they only carry one dairy-free flavor but they also have waffle cones and rainbow sprinkles which Hayden loves, so he gets a big giant waffle bowl that he never even makes a dent in.
There ya go...the only way to beat this heat...swimming at the covered pool and gallons of ice cream!
