Water Baby

Our little Ollie is such a water baby.....Mum tells me I was the same as a baby, choosing to swim under water more than I swam on top of the water! He definitely takes after me in that way because he's just so happy in water.

Jimmy takes Jett to swimming lessons every Wednesday and while Jett's swimming, he takes Ollie in for a splash and a paddle. We get comments from strangers on how amazing Ollie is in the water and how people can't believe how confident he is in the water (his confidence scares me a bit). Jett's swimming teacher has encouraged us to get Ollie into lessons sooner rather than later - partly for safety and partly to encourage his love of the water even more.

We took the boys swimming on the Easter long week end and Ollie was happy to just crouch down in the water with the water coming right up to his neck - he'd smile at me the happiest little grin, with his head just above the water.

Here's a photo of the little man in the bath...having a ball - he slides up and down the bath on his tummy trying to blow bubbles.

Loads of Entertainment

Oh the boys have been making us laugh lately.....they've been playing together really nicely for the last few weeks (this is a bit of a rarity) and I've snapped some great photos of them together!

The photo of them both in the blue buckets was taken in March - Jett was desperate for Ollie to have a bucket to sit in with him so he up-ended some of his toys and made a huge mess! They laughed so much together playing in these buckets and it made me feel so happy to see them loving eachother :)

The second photo was taken at Easter - it was a gorgeous sunny day and we were all outside doing some gardening together. The boys were sitting under the tree eating their morning tea, giggling over their own little jokes.

It's times like this that really make me enjoy my two little boys - I hope they grow up to be great little friends and look out for eachother!
