We've been suspicious for a while that we might have a daredevil on our hands with Jackson. Seems to be a bit of a thrill-seeker. (Just what I need!) The other night Mike was giving Jackson a bath when I got home from taking a walk with Amy (we were late for spin class - oops - so just took a walk instead), so Mike and I were just hanging out while Jackson played. Anyways, our tub is slanted on one end - you know, like a slide. Under close supervision, Jackson tried to climb up that part, fell and slid down, and instead of it frightening him, he LOVED it. He was laughing so hard and kept trying to do it over and over again. Also, at one point Mike had him on his back in the water with his ears totally submerged - none of my other kids would do that, and he was relaxed and loving it! This has me a tad worried for the cottage this summer - going to have to keep a close eye on that boy. I want my kids to be more comfortable in the water than I have ever been, but yet a healthy fear is good!
Tuesday night was a roller skating party for our school. I'm not sure who had more fun, Mike or the boys! It worked out perfect with Jackson - we had him in the jogging stroller the whole time, and he loved it! I didn't skate, but was able to walk around the rink with him some. Mike pushed him most of the time, though. Both Caleb and Logan tried roller blades for a while at first, and I thought they were getting the hang of it, but then they wanted to switch to skates, and did well with those, too. Logan really did well. At the beginning he would fall, but then get right back up and keep going. It didn't take long before I could tell he was going longer distances without falling and he just started to look more comfortable with it. Caleb used a little push cart thing quite a bit and did well. I think he was having a blast just being with his friends. :) Levi definitely improved throughout the night, too! It worked out nice for him to have the stroller to hang onto. I enjoyed walking around the rink a few times, and then visiting with other moms. :)
