Swimming Lessons, Grandmas, and An Escape Artist

Grandma and Grandpa took Heidi Anne and Rory for a few days this weekend, giving me a little reprieve. It was so nice to have to worry and tend to only 1 child. I got more sleep then I have since before Rory was born.  I'm blessed to have in-laws willing to take the older 2 just so I can get some rest. 

Back in May we had Heidi Anne's swimming skills assessed. It was determined that while she has some skills she lacked confidence. They placed her in level 1, which is beginner's swimming. Thus far she is loving it. She goes every morning for 30 minutes. Her class was so big it was split into 3 groups. Since swimming is a good, general skill to have we went ahead and signed her up for the next session. 

Rory is getting more adventurous by the day. We had an improvised guard gate since we have a large opening from the living room to the kitchen. He has found several ways to get around this gate. Making us buy an new (expensive) custom guard gate. He shouldn't (shouldn't is the key word) be able to get around or climb over this one. 

Tiny Anastasia has fallen in love with the swing. She has to be rocked back and forth to settle down, especially between the witching hours of 4 pm-9 pm. I think she may have colic. She gets all fussy and can't be calmed. Or it could be that her acid reflex is getting even worse. Side note - that girl can projectile vomit. NONE of the other children did that. I guess this little Lady likes to be different.
