1 Fish, 2 Fish!!

Well, with school and soccer season coming to an end and a few last appointments for Seth this week, I can say that I am really looking forward to slowing down, resting my taxi driver duties and taking on my life guard responsibilities by the pool!! I did say really looking forward to, right? I now wake up to Mama swim or Mama bicycle but swimming seems to be number 1 now. I honestly did not think that Seth would love to swim as much as Maiah, it just could not have worked out any better. He just loves it and is making great progress in the pool. We started out with a vest, a tube around the vest and floaties on his arms(yes, all at once) and he was scared for his face to touch the water....one week later, we are only in arm floaties and today he got brave and used 1 floatie for a bit.....he is also holding his breath, putting his face in the water and trying to swim under water.....for a kid that has never seen a pool, we are quite impressed!!! I must say, he and Maiah are both very competitive and I knew it would not take long. He can't stand watching Maiah swim and float around like a fish......at the end of the day, I pull my 2 raisins out of the pool.

Well, we also had our first post placement visit this week, which went well. Seth had a first visit to the beach too. We spent the weekend cheering on big brother in a sand soccer tournament. He loved the sand and the ocean. Seth's English is coming along very well. He surprises us with new words everyday and is putting 2-3 words phrases together. School has been uneventful which is good. I actually went on a field trip with Seth this past week and got to meet and spend time with the little boy that hit Seth. They are friends now and the little boy just loved some Mommy time, Seth was happy to share me but made sure everyone knew who his Mom was!!! I actually felt sorry for this little boy as he just craves attention and will do whatever it takes to get it. Very sad:( I also found out that my little Asian sensation is quite popular with the little girls too. I am not sure how he handles it everyday, the little girls wore me out in 10 minutes with the Seth, Seth, Seth. Anyway, Seth is doing excellent in school, he is very smart and has a great memory. He also has 17 little female helpers at all times. Well, I also think Seth likes the camera as much as Maiah.....he asks for it all the time!!! So, here are a few new pics....and Seth's new smile, all scrunched up saying cheese.

Love,
Stacy
