This is something that happened this a.m. when Mike took the boys up to the pool. He didn't put his swim trunks on as usual they last 10 - 30 minutes and it was colder this a.m. Anyway they came back and got their clothes back on. Mike sat down and said there were some other kids in the pool this time and the boys played with them. He said Eli really liked this one boy about his age and played with him. The boy got out, walked around the pool and jumped back in. So did Eli.....Eli can't swim! Eli could stand but the water was to the underside of his nose. Mike got him from the side and pulled him out.
About this time in the story Lucas came in and screams "Mommy - Eli (motion for jump in, motion for water over nose) "Daddy (motion for pulling) Eli (point at arm) Eli (cough)." Eli marches in the room. (Remember fewer English words) "Mommy, Daddy, arm, (motion for pulling out of pool). He turned around to Mike and hugged him. I'm not sure survival counts as bonding. Thus Sydney now chaperones the swimming pool.
I can't imgine their first snowfall:) I bet they will remember to be a coat on and the first experience outside. Travel safely home.
