a haircut, swimming lessons and staples

Our little man got his 3rd haircut yesterday.

He did great!

I think he looks so big in this picutre...his little hands holding onto the arm rests, and just a little head sticking out above the cape.

His hair was so long, it would barely spike...now he is back to normal.

And about the swimming lessons...

What a difference a few days can make.

The first two lessons we had some major tears. 

 She just doesn't want to do it, but when she gets into the water

(after her teacher drags her in) she really does great!

There goes my little swimmer.

After lesson #3 yesterday Layla was swimming with assistance across the pool.

(sorry for the blur...there is a bar right in front of me, and when I get excited it gets in my way.)

Layla's teacher (who needs a gold medal) moves further away each time.

Which means Layla goes further and holds her breath longer each time.

I'm one proud momma...can I get a whooo wheee! 

After lesson # 2 she got this page. After each accomplishment she gets another sticker.

What is it with stickers and kids?  I don't remember liking them as much as kids do now.

Layla can't wait to swim and earn the next sticker.  Her face was beaming after getting a sticker yesterday.

It has been 10 days since Callaway's tumor surgery and he got his staples out yesterday.

He is pretty much back to normal.  He is acting normal, but still has a cough, so they refilled his antibiotic.

He is such a great dog!

And Harley is too.

I put photos of all my other kids on here, so I just had to give Harley some face time too.

 After swimming lessons today we are going to come home and rest.  We aren't used to running around town in the heat four days a week.  We enjoy our down time in the summer, especially when it is super hot!  Next week we have 4 more lessons Monday-Thursday and hopefully Layla will be closer to being a little fish in the water.  Happy Thursday, and try to keep cool!
