Splash pad

Regretfully we do not make it to Play group as often right now, but enjoy the times when we do. Prestyn had a lot of fun and loving the water even though it was super hot outside.

swimming like a big boy

We have been enjoying the pool at the gym lately since there is no public ones around. It is so nice to have and Prestyn loves the baby pool they have there since its only 2ft deep and he can walk along the floor. He is doing so well with it he is now kicking his hands and feet and I am teaching him how to walk along the side of the wall with his hands. He still does very well with being dunked under water and his favorite thing is to jump off the ledge into the water! I have decided this year to not do floaties since one we are in the baby pool and I am in there with him, but two I am trying to get him to know how to correct himself and lift his head above water if he looses balance he is doing so well with this and has not yet panicked! of course I am still assisting him, but not before giving him the chance to do so himself! I would love to find someone in this area who teaches the classes Kristy put Bordie in 2 summers ago. Until then I will try to do a little of it myself.

Our little chef!

This was so funny when I stumbled across him. While I was cleaning the house and in the other room I could hear Prestyn on the kitchen, hearing the noise of my pans is not uncommon since he plays with them all the time except this time it was different. Of course Prestyn must copy everything he sees so why not cooking. He had got into the candy jar and pulled out some nerds and placed them in the pan and pretended to cook or in his mind he was! He could not have been anymore proud of himself and since he was not harming anything I let him continue and he did so for about 20 mins until dumping them all over the stove! Lets just hope that he does not figure out how to turn on a burner!

Cars 2

Though I would take Prestyn to the movies a few weeks ago to see cars 2 thinking he may enjoy it well he did really well the first 45 min and then he wanted to run up the isle's so we left since he started yelling when I tried to get him to sit! So needless to say we will be waiting a little while before we attempt that again.

4th of July

For once this year Kevin was actually in town during a holiday so we took advantage of it and enjoyed a trip put for the 4th of July celebration being held by the city of Gilmer at the high school. We were worried that it would be really congested and we would not be able to find a place to park, but we lucked out we parked in the student parking lot and was so close to the fireworks it was really cool we just camped out in the back of the truck with our camping chairs. Prior to the fireworks starting they had airplanes flying over head and played music over the loud speaker as well as famous US history speech's by Presidents. It was so nice Prestyn loved the fireworks he sat still threw the whole 20 mins they were going off. He continued to just say "wow" it was too cute!
