Another first....

Tonight was Evan's first time using a big boy tooth brush. I don't know why we haven't started sooner, but it was one of those things that hit me earlier today. I was talking about how fast he is growing up and when I said "He has 12 teeth" this light bulb went off in my head that said "you need to be brushing his teeth!" So after work tonight we ran to Wal-Mart and I let Kyle pick out Evan's first tooth brush. I promise you it took almost 15 minutes to find just the perfect Thomas the Train toothbrush and tooth paste. After bath time tonight we opened the new toothbrush and tried it out.

At first he let me brush his teeth for about 20 seconds and then I would get this face! I would have to pry his mouth back open for another 15 to 20 seconds of brushing. I can't tell you how many times we went back and forth on this one.

Yeah! Evan got to hold the tooth brush! (I really should have started this way...) He was VERY happy holding it! :-)

Then once Kyle came in to brush his teeth Evan thought it was great. He watched Kyle and tried to do just what his big brother was doing.

I have two little boys with very clean pretty smiles tonight!

Week 2: Swimming Lesson Continues

Kyle continued to excel beyond belief during his second week of swim lessons. By the end, Kyle was swimming across the pool!

I love being able to go see him in action during the last Saturday lesson! However, I don't know if he was so happy with me snapping pictures the whole time. ;-)

Evan stayed awake for this lesson and was a COMPLETE ham the entire time. He also perfected his hand eye coordination while playing with GaGa on one side of the pool by picking up tiny ants on the concrete.

Now for Kyle's favorite part of the day....and my scariest....THE DIVING BOARD! (insert dunn dunn dunn scary music here!)

And for the jump...

He did SO good! He got to jump off the diving board twice and both times he did great! I have to admit I did pretty good and stayed really calm (well for the most part!) I am so glad that he got the opportunity to participate in these swim lessons at school, go with all his friends and most importantly learn some really great fundamentals and swim techniques that he will use the rest of his life.

My Sweet Boys

My new favorite picture of my boys....Evan fell asleep on his big brother. Kyle laid so still and held him. I think they would have slept like that all night if we would have let them. :-)
