15 Month Check & Swim Lessons

Kathryn got an all clear at her 15 month check up. Two shots. I think that bothered Ryan more than Kathryn. He asked about it repeatedly before and after. Her stats: Height: 31 in. = 70% Weight: 24-9 = 75% I'm rather surprised about her height percentile. She looks on the short side to me.

She's got her drool going on - AGAIN. Never have I seen a child so drooly. I am going to burn bibs when we are done with them.
Running amok in the office. And Ryan in the background flirting with Amy. Hey Amy!
And. . . . Swim School (As Ryan calls it) Didn't go very smoothly for the first time. On a scale of 1-10. 10 being Ryan did fantastic, we are looking at oh about a 1.5. Ryan refused to do anything the instructor asked. He would repeatedly look at me, so I left the swim area thinking maybe he'd do better with out me. I could see him crying from my vantage point - that was so hard to watch! By the end of the session he would sit on the very top step and kick his legs. . so maybe a teensy bit of progress. A before shot: And a mid-session shot It's a 6 week course. Stay tuned for an update after Session # 2 I didn't get many pictures. The lifeguard told me it was ok, if I only took them of Ryan. If any other kids were in the photo, I would have to get the parents permission. Well she was no where to be found, so I kept my camera off for the most part. This was my view from upstairs, where I retreated hoping he would pay more attention to the instructor.
