Swimming, Swimming, In the Swimming Pool...

This past weekend Lil Roo had his very first swimming lesson!  I think I still have cheek-fatigue from the ridiculous grin I wore the entire class.  Roscoe in his little green trunks with his little white belly and his serious face trying to process this new experience... "jumping" off the side into Ray's arms... Ray singing the singalong songs and Roscoe eating up every second of Daddy's attention... pure cuteness.  It was a parent-child class that Ray found to take with him at the local Y.  Most of the kids were older and could actually follow instructions and sing along, but Roscoe far out-splashed them all (even causing one of the parents to move her child to the opposite side of circle time from him...).  Aside from vigorous splashing, Roscoe also enjoyed dunking his face under (on his own accord) and then looking stunned and having Ray blow bubbles on his stomach.

Unfortunately they were very strict about their no photo/no video policy, but I did manage to sneak one photo in before they came over and laid down the law.

Roscoe deciding what he thinks about this whole pool thing...

And a few more for the the road...

Five minutes in the life of Roscoe:

Mama needs to learn new tricks.  This used to be his barricade, but now he easily scales it (or plays in it):

I don't even know who took this picture, but he looks like such a big boy!

p.s.  Ray got another big promotion effective January.  Unfortunately he was planning to leave before then, but we'll see how things go.  And yes, he did JUST get one a few months ago - he is that amazing.

p.p.s.  No news on the house.  Another couple very interested (asking lots of questions, coming multiple times, asking for the disclosures packet, etc.), but this seems to happen every week and then nothing, so not getting my hopes up (at least not too much).
