The Fwimmin Pool
Amelia started her first swimming class tonight at 5:30 at our gym. She was SO excited to go. I think Mondays and Wednesdays for are going to be fun for the next month because I can use the pool as an incentive for good behavior. There were 3 kids (and moms) in the class tonight. It was the first time they've offered a "toddler" class that didn't also have infants involved. "Real" lessons and classes are for 3 year olds.
The swim instructor, Jenny, has just returned to Chapel Hill and the Wellness Center after moving back to Gainesville, FL for a couple years. She was a swimmer at UF(I went there too) and her husband played football at UF, coached at UNC, and now does something with the Denver Broncos, I think. My friend Brandy took her adult swimming class a couple years ago. She encouraged me to do the same, but it was not for the faint of heart. Hopefully the toddler class won't be so rigorous. The funny thing about Jenny is that she's a reality TV star. Do you remember The Bachelor with Jesse, the football player? Well, Jenny was the spy... http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,630299,00.html I remember seeing the episode, then going to swim laps and doing a double take. She's really nice and Amelia actually listens to what she's saying in the pool. Splish, Splash!

Our Family Triathlon
On Saturday we finally got a chance to play together at home. First, we ran. Well, Thomas held the wall and made his way down the hallway for the very first time. Amelia ONLY runs in the house, so this event was nothing new for her.
After getting geared up, we went for our first family bike ride of 5.4 miles. The midpoint of our trip was the Chapel Hill Country Club, where our wedding reception was held. The building was destroyed by fire last year, so we wanted to check out the construction. With 2 kids in tow and a new building going up, it made me feel like we'd been married way longer than 3 years.
Our final event was held at the backyard pool. I forgot (for the 3rd time!!!) the Wellness Center closes early on Saturdays, so we let the athletes finish the race at the home pool. We had such a fun day that we were nearly sad to see the little ones get into bed.

Conniving Amelia
Here's an email that Leslie just sent to me which I thought was funny enough to share.
"amelia dumped her plate of green beans and dip on the floor. when i told her she had to clean it up, she started saying it was her naptime and she had to goto time out. she did clean them up, though.
thomas has a great ability to detect carrots with his tongue. cheerios, cheese, nectarine and carrot pieces all go in. carrots come out every time."
