Well, it seems that I spoke too soon about Tater Tot looooving her swim lessons. She loved them that first day but today, during her third lesson, she was less than thrilled. During her second lesson it was just downright cold. Add to that the fact that I thought it was a good time to get her to go under water (it wasn’t) and I had a Fussybutt on my hands! This time she was skittish at first and I could tell that she was a bit cold but she ended up spending lots of time floating on her tummy and kicking her legs so all was not lost. I think she’ll come around when it warms up and if I don’t try and dunk her again any time soon!

One good thing is that we tried out our new Coolibar sun-protective swim romper and it worked great! When I got it the other day I thought it would be yards too long for her but it fits just about right with some room to grow into it during the summer. One thing that I like about it is the fact that it goes to wrists and ankles so the only places I have to slather with sunscreen are her face, hands and feet! Not that doing this will be easy but it’s easier than trying to put sunscreen on the whole body of a squirmy, protesting toddler. And she loves the fish embroidered on the front of it.

I had forgotten how many muscles in my upper body are used exclusively for surfing and not for any other activity on earth. They are all screaming at me right now. It’s worse today than yesterday, unfortunately. It always happens that way with me. The second day after a hard workout is always much worse than the first. So I will be sitting and watching the last episode ever of Gilmore Girls tonight like an old lady with a heating pad on all the sore spots. I’ve got one with a vibration mechanism as well. Ahhhh….comfort! Back to the last episode of Gilmore Girls ever. It’s weird to think that it won’t be on anymore because it’s been on forever but there you have it. I guess I’ll probably take it off of my Season Pass on Tivo now…although there’s always re-runs!

Well, gotta finish my chores before Gilmore Girls…see ya’!
