Silas had T-ball this morning so the three littler ones and I cheered for him and his team, the Caramel Camels. It was an unfortunate color choice by someone for sure. But Si doesn't seem to care and is having fun with both soccer and T-ball this year.
You just never know what might happen when a certain brother starts to get bored...
Those of us on the sidelines were already dressed for the pool. It is right by the fields where Silas plays, so we headed there when the game was over.
This was our first pool trip this summer and it was a great success. Several of our regular playdate friends were there and the kids all had fun playing together. My older three were much more independent this year than last, which made the whole thing easier. Blaise jumped right in with no fear (as I expected). He astounds me, that boy. The only time he was upset was when someone tried to hold his hand and walk. He would rather do it on his own, thank-you-very-much. Simeon went down the slide on his own multiple times, and Silas played like crazy with friends till exhaustion took over. Lieren spent her time in the shallow mainly, playing with toys.
Natalie and I just stood there at one point, remembering that first summer we did these pool trips. It was two years ago. Silas was Sim and Lieren's age. They were all just babies.
And, boy, were those pool days a lot of work!
