We have been having such lovely weather here lately that Caiden and Kye decided it was time to swim! Really? Already? We have just eased into Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere. The water felt freezing this morning but who am I to say it’s too cold to swim?
So out we went, my knitting in hand, two projects mind you, I could have brought just one but what if I wanted to knit on something else while I was outside. (I know, how can deciding what project to take with be so difficult? So that’s why both ended up outside with me, the colour affection shawl and Jenna’s sock that I’m busy designing).
Kye is very uncertain about this whole process, his older brother has told him the water is warm but he has felt is and warm isn’t quite the word I would use to describe the water temperature…
Venturing onto the first step…
Sandy always at the ready to launch herself fully into the water at any given moment.
But oh! There he goes, a quick jump!
And then out and into a warm towel. He lost his top front tooth this weekend and the strange thing is, is that since that tooth has come out, he hasn’t once woken up in the middle of the night and climbed into our bed. He sleeps straight through the night in his own room and wakes around 7am. Steiner wrote quite extensively about the loss of teeth and behavioural changes in children, I think I need to re-visit that reading material again…
Happy day to you.
I think little ones with missing teeth are just adorable.
Glad to hear it is starting to warm up in your world, here
I am still waiting for cooler weather to come. Unlike
the rest of the country with their autumn chill in the air
we are still hot and humid in the southern USA.
He is so cute and has a little lisp now that there is s tooth missing:)
Interesting
As we head into cooler Fall temperatures here in Texas, I love “visiting” your yard in the Spring!
Your days of child-raising will pass so quickly, and at my age you’ll be thankful that you documented the precious moments like today: the first Spring swim, the milestone of losing teeth, knitting under the trees and watching happy boys.
Blessings,
Nancy
Happy Autumn Nancy. These are precious days indeed:)
Sweet little one! The one-tooth wonder – What an amazing time to
enjoy your children. Memories are made of these….
Indeed they are, thanks for visiting Niria:)
My goodness. I had no idea that loss of teeth had ANY behavioral correlation. I want to know what you find out. I really do. The pictures of the kids and the pool bring back so many memories – G’s parents had a pool, and we visited it every summer. Those were good times = being by the pool and watching the children play happily in the water. Children wrapped in big towels. This has made me feel kind of calm and happy.
