Water Boy

As you saw from my last post, Evan LOVES the water. Whether it's a pool, the beach or even a bath, he has a BLAST and doesn't want it to end. So, to keep him safe, and make me feel more comfortable about his enthusiasm and a bit of "reckless abandon" around water, I've signed him up for swimming lessons. He starts Saturday morning, pretty early for us around 8am! He'll go for four weeks, four lessons and I'm so excited. It's a parent-child class so Brad and I get to be involved...so cool!

Here are some photos from our beach trip on Memorial Day...showing his extreme excitement with the waves and water! When I asked him about going to the beach and what his favorite part was he said "beach fun water."

Side Note: Evan is doing really well in preschool. He doesn't cry anymore when we leave him, and is enjoying the other kids and his teachers. He has adjusted so well and is flourishing which just shows God's provision and guidance in our decision of where to send him. He learned how to count to 10 after only being there 1 1/2 weeks! He now sings Jesus Loves Me - though it is mostly him saying Jesus and Bible to the tune. He's also coming along with the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...we got him on video and I'm hoping to post that soon. It's just too cute - and funny. He's also picking up so many new words and really putting short sentences together. He continues to show his affinity for pens and writing, and playing with cars. His school just started their summer program with fun activities and themes each week. Next week is beach week, and he's supposed to come in his swimsuit every day - so that means water fun, right up his alley!
