School Days & Swim Lessons!

Quinn has had such a busy week and it isn't even over yet!

On Tuesday, she had class pictures at her school, and how could we not take a few pictures before we left?!


This is one of her new favorite things to do.  She takes an "inventory" of her toys, takes them all out of her toy basket and places them all in piles- on the coffee table, in a pile on the floor, or on top of Mommy &/or Daddy.


And of course, her new favorite buddy, ELMO!!


He is a "Tickle Me Elmo", and is a little hard for her to tickle, so it always seems like she is giving him CPR, but she is really just trying to get him to laugh!


Next up, on Wednesday we started Swim Lessons!!
Quinn loved getting changed in the locker room, she said "hi" to EVERYONE in there, like they were old friends and she had to check out each of the lockers


When we went out to the pool, she was not intimidated at all.  I barely had time to get a few quick shots!



The instructor said Quinn did excellent for her first class!  She was not scared-- she actually wanted to go to the deep end (the ladies were doing a water aerobics class & she wanted to go see them;).
She understood kicking on her first try and loved that!
Blowing bubbles was a little more tricky.  At first, she kept trying to drink the water, kind of like a puppy dog!  But she started getting the hang of it towards the end of the class-- we will have to keep practicing that though!
And last but not least, we went under water!  I couldn't believe it and I was sooo proud of her.  She wasn't too found of going under, but she didn't complain either.  All in all, she had a great time and WOW, did she take a great nap later that afternoon!

Today, we had her Easter Egg Hunt and party at school.  Since it was so close to Easter, we didn't want to chance wearing her Easter dress, so she wore her "spring gift" from Juan and Bethany-- so cute!

It took her a while to get the hang of things.  She kept treating the eggs like balls--instead of putting them in her bucket, she would pick them up & throw them!

The "babies" got to go out first, and she got a little intimidated when the "big kids" started to come

I think she was getting a little annoyed at all of the pictures

YUM! the eggs were stuffed with animal crackers and goldfish!


What a great week-- we are all exhausted and it is only Thursday!!
