More on our Picasso

This is how Em and I spent part of the day…

Trying to pare down some of the wall ‘o artwork in the air-conditioned, very cool playroom. In retrospect, this should be done without the budding artist standing in the same room.

“Oh, we have to keep that! That was for you!”
“We can’t throw that away, I worked on that with Denise!”
“But I neeeeed that one, too!”

And on and on it went.

We did finally come to some concessions and put away some of her (and addie’s) artwork and recycled the rest. Now we have a clean, blank wall to fill up again!

Our little fishy

This was taken one moment after she bravely went underwater to “stand” on the bottom! (It was a quick little toe touch, but she was definitely under.)

I’m so surprised and pleased with how well Em is doing in the lessons. They are super cheap (through the city of San Gabriel) and the instructors are really great. Em is jumping off the side and swimming to the instructors after only 5 lessons. In the deep pool! Very cool. I only wish we could take more sessions, but they kind of interfere with the summer camp, (No, it isn’t school…just camp, remember?) that starts on FRIDAY!
