Today Dylan had his first swim lesson in a few months. It did not go so well. :( The instructor is considering moving him back a level. We think Dylan's afraid to be in the deep end, which is where level 3 is taught. We'll see how he does tomorrow. We may have to end up moving him back so he can get more comfortable in the water. Oh well!

After that, we went to his 6 year check up. He's growing like a weed! 3 inches this year. Everything checked out. He had to get a shot which was traumatic for him. :) He first tried to hide behind me. Then, he writhed & squirmed to get away. The nurse was firm yet kind. And we got him poked. He was still telling her he wasn't ready for the shot after she had already poked him. Silly boy!

Last week, Dylan & I went to Six Flags. It was alot of fun. Dylan would ride any of the water slides with me, but we did have fun in the wave pool. He really enjoyed the bumper cars as well. We did them both twice.

Tomorrow is more swim class. I need to pick a day to go to Dolphin's Cove. It's been a little bit chilly the past few days, though.

Well, this past week was my birthday. 31. Eric took me & the kids out to Sweet Tomatoes. Yum! We went to one in Schaumburg, so afterword, we went to Woodfield mall. Actually, I went with the kids before, too, so they could run off some energy. We went to the Apple store, of course! And we went to the Lego store. Dylan & Jasmin got to do their free mini-build & we picked up a Star wars lego set for 50% off!! That's rare to find one on sale.

We met new friends from Tball. Dylan & Jasmin had a great time playing at their house. Hopefully, we'll be able to get together with them again.

Jasmin loves her gymnastics class. She's so cute doing it, too. We have that each Wednesday morning. She seems to have a knack for it. Dylan will be starting up swim lessons again soon.

Saturday we spent a few hours at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. The kids favorite part was the tanks of course. Eric & I helped them climb up on a bunch.

Today, I took the kids to Festival Park in Elgin. It has fountains that the kids can run thru. We also played at the park & saw ducks in the river. Lots of fun!

Later this week, Dylan & I are going to Six Flags. Jasmin's spending the day with her best friend, Cynthia. Looking forward to it. Speaking of....I need to find Dylan's ticket!
