With Kevin sick with strep since Thursday, and the cold outside temperatures driving us inside for long stretches at a time, I decided it would be well worth our time to spend a couple of hours at the gym. I first dropped the boys off in their respective kids' play areas, then headed to the cardio floor for my own workout. After 45 minutes on the elliptical and treadmill, I collected my boys and headed to the indoor pool. Even if it's for only a short time, they enjoy the chance to splash around, jump off the diving board, and show off their skills in the pool.
This time around, as Nick was doing his usual routine of climbing out of the pool then climbing back down the steps to jump into my arms, he discovered the foam pool noodles. After grabbing one and jumping back in, his bravery kicked in and he put the noodle under his arms and started kicking around the pool. This was a great rememberance of the fun from last summer and a glance toward what is sure to be a summer filled with fun and exciting firsts.
