Chase has started taking swim lessons at the YMCA. He LOVES the water and is doing really well. Not a big fan of laying on his back and getting water in his ears, but the rest of it is great. He sings "Row, row, row your boat" on a daily basis to practice his arm strokes (out of the water). He then practices blowing bubbles and kicking in the bathtub.
Jason and I took a child-free trip to Turks & Caicos at the end of February and my mom watched Chase for us. It was nice to get away but I do miss him when I am gone for a couple of days. He getting into everything - stairs, remote controls, dog crates, drawers, cabinets, closets. He wants to wear our shoes and hats....he has a fascination with wearing Jason's baseball caps and looks adorable when he does.
We have been staying local for the most part. It seems like the time change has gotten the best of all of us and we have all been sick over the last few weeks. I think we have kicked it for now and I am looking forward to Spring Break for some serious down time. I am losing the first day to a snow day make up but will still have one week off.
We are planning a visit to see the Easter Bunny and I honestly can't say how it will go. There are times when characters don't bother him and others where he has a complete meltdown. Could be very interesting!
On a parental pride note, Chase peed in the potty by request (his) yesterday. I am not crazy enough to believe this is the beginning of potty training but it was still very exciting to have him ask while I was changing his diaper and then actually go!
Enjoy the pictures. I know I am biased, but what a handsome devil he is!
