Jumperoo and Swimming Lessons

The girls at work threw me a fabulous baby shower a few weeks ago and one of the best gifts was a Jumperoo. Kaitlyn had an exersaucer and a jumperoo that attached to a doorframe, but we don't have any doorframes close to the main living area (kitchen/living room) and we sold the exersaucer because it had horrible sound effects (think 80s Atari game) that drove me nuts. So this was the perfect gift. Ryan put it all together the other day and she loves it. She has the neck support but she has super short legs so I've put a stack of blankets underneath it for her feet to touch. She absolutely loves the parrot on top and will sit and coo at it.





The other event in this house is Kaitlyn is in swimming lessons for a few weeks. She loves the water and this gave her an opportunity to have something all her own that was just about her. The first lesson went so well, she didn't want to leave. It was horrible. I was "that" mom that everyone shakes their head at and wonders what I must have done to create such a monster child. Finally I was able to get her out of there and we had a loooonnnngggg talk about good behaviour vs bad behaviour. She seemed to have "gotten it" because I haven't had a problem since. Class is over, she happily gets dressed and she gets to pick an item from the candy machines for being good (thanks Andrea for the idea!). She is doing really well this time the teacher said, although I still don't know if she'll pass. She still doesn't like putting her head underwater but the teacher said she's slowly improving.







So that's the update from us!
