Swim lesson Day 3

J will go in the pool if mommy goes.  That was the deal.
We went in the pool and sang with our instructor.
J liked the songs and moves in the water, and he had fun after all.
He did great!  Kicks, bubbles and ice cream scoops!
However, it was  A's turn to say No, No!
A said No to everything today.
Oh.............................

Grammie visited us in the afternoon.
Yeah!

We were so hungry. 
Needed to be fed ASAP.
We went to get food( for everybody) and Margarita (for me).

The boys were GOOD.

Pizza Restaurant had a summer break

I was going to get a pizza for dinner.
We played in the dog park and playground until dark.
I called the restaurant to order in the playground and knew the restaurant was closed for a vacation!!


InnOut for dinner.

Splash Pad in Pasadena

There is a park with a splash pad in Pasadena. (Fair Oaks/ Washington)

 The boys did not really want to get wet......

Bubbles/Swim Lesson Day 2

After the first lesson, J didn't want to take anymore lessons.
The lesson was not what he was thinking, which was to play and splash
with mommy and A.
J refused to go first, so A went in the pool first..

Kick, kick, kick........................

Kick, kick, kick................

A can blow bubbles in the water!  Yeah!


J refused to go in the water when his turn came.
He cried and scream for mommy.
Neither singing in the water nor sitting on the steps were accepted.
He always needs a lot of time to get used to new people, but I was very disappointed.

Swim Lesson Day 1

We had the first swim lesson today at The Chevy Chase country club, Glendale.

Nobody is at the pool yet.

J and A each had a 20 minutes lesson.
J went in first.
He was smiling. 

 However, he didn't like that he had to take the lesson alone :(
He was becoming less pleasant and tell the instructor " I want to go to mommy." 

 With the effort of the instructor, he accomplished 20 minutes lesson.

Next, A went in the water.
No hesitation or fear.  He just went to the instructor's arms.

It was good for the very first lesson.
They did good job!

I hoped them to practice what they learned today,  and we directly went to Loma Alta pool.
(But no practice........just had fun.)

Playground after swimming.

At the hair salon
My plan was to get both of them a hair cut.

 J is always very good at getting hair cut.

A absolutely refused getting his, so he has to wait for daddy to take him again.
