Bo is starting to pick up a lot of words. Of course Tom and I have to translate but we're even still translating Ty speak too. Haha! Now that Bo's getting a little chatty we have our favorite Bo words. I love when he says "school bus" but I think for Tom and I, our favorite is when Bo says "yes". It comes out like he has a retainer in his mouth and sounds like "yesshhhhh". Hahah! Here's a little conversation with Bo.....

We check on the boys every night. Mainly so we know they're snug in their beds, covered up and all cozy. Some nights are pretty entertaining. Ty can sleep in a ton of positions that would send most people to the chiropractor the next day. Jack talks in his sleep and has been caught sleeping sitting up. Hahaha! And Bo has now joined his brothers with wacky sleep habits. This is how we found him last night........
I was lucky enough to get Ty in swim lessons this month. There is a HUGE lack of swim lesson options in our area. Off post they are so expensive you'd think Michael Phelps was giving private lessons. On post, the lessons are limited and they fill up fast. If the sign ups start at 9am, people will already be waiting for an hour or 2 before the doors to the office even open. Then you have to go in and you get a number and you have to wait until your number is called. Once you get called up you get to pick from what's left. It's crazy. We did this ONCE. We went and waited almost 2 hours, I vowed to never waste my Saturday morning like that again. Sooooo, I wait until the day AFTER sign ups start, then I call and see if there is anything left over. And that's how Ty got lessons for this month. Unfortunately, next month filled right up.
So Ty had his very first swim lesson 3 weeks ago. I thought he did great but his teacher told me he needed to work on going under water. . . . . . . . . . Um. . . . . . . .It was his very first lesson and I figured as much. Since we got the leftover lessons he didn't have class the next week. So his 2nd lesson was this past Tuesday and he surprised all of us! He did AMAZING!!! He was going under water, down the slide, floating and even swam on his own without any floatie devices. I was so excited for him! He kept looking over at me and giving me a thumbs up. Hahahah! I actually got choked up watching him. He was pretty fearless and I couldn't have been prouder! Way to go TY!!!!
During the private lessons in the mornings we have to share the pool with the aqua-aerobics class. Bodie really enjoys rocking out to the music and flirting with the older ladies. :-)
I'm back. :-)
To start it all off again, here's a video of Jack at his talent show a few weeks ago. His music teacher organized a talent show for the entire school. The younger kids only preformed in front of their own classes. It was the perfect setting for each kiddo's first public speech. His teacher did an amazing job of making the kids feel comfortable and she encouraged them to keep talking in the microphone after their talent, which of course was the highlight of it all. :-) They could sing, dance, paint, or even do a math problem. It was completely up to them.
Jack chose to talk about playing soccer. He decided to wear his jersey into school, and he showed everyone his medal and trohpy. We practiced the things he was going to talk about a few times but the morning of his show, he was super nervous. I told him that if he didn't feel comfortable doing it, that he could change his mind then. But he should at least try. Plus I reminded him of the whole microphone thing again. Hahha. He was really excited to use the microphone.
Parents were allowed to attend the show. I was 1 of 2 moms that showed up. Jack has 22 students in his class and it kind of broke my heart that no one else was able to get there. I understand though that it's not easy to get time off and all that, I do. I just thought there'd be more than 2 of us. And as always where I go so do Ty and Bo. :-) They loved the talent show! Bo danced every time there was a song, Ty clapped for each student like they just won the World Series. Hahahah!
The talent show was really cool. I think all but 3 students preformed something and you could see them beaming when they finished their talent and everyone clapped for them.
I was so proud of Jack. For being so nervous that morning, I'm glad he over came his fear and he did an awesome job! With no further ado......Here's Jack............
