Not too tough to see what we've done this week: BMXing and swimming!After visiting the BMX park a few weeks ago to see what it was all about, Gerrit agreed to race.

After visiting the BMX park a few weeks ago to see what it was all about, Gerrit agreed to race. We took Luke and Paul along and headed to Faribault (30 min west). Adam just bought a BMX bike so he could ride with Gerrit. (Ya right!) Paul actually raced it but Adam did take a few practice laps to give it a try. Gerrit only had 3 people in his race so he was able to race 3 times. He took 3rd the 1st race and 2nd the last 2 races for an overall place of 2nd. He was so excited to get his trophy too. Paul took 3rd overall and received a trophy as well. Luke most likely would've placed but he got a little too much air in the last race and went off course. The boys had a blast and are excited for more. I'm not sure I'm ready to be a BMX mom but I'll give it a whirl..

This week Gerrit started swimming lessons. He is very comfortable in the water and is doing a great job working on his rhythmic breathing, superman float (floating on his tummy) and floating on his back. He is excited to go off the diving board (although I wouldn't be surprised if he chickens out when the time comes). It is amazing how much he has learned in a few days and is excited for another week.
Poor Emmit - he wanted to ride on the BMX course so bad and put up quite the fuss when Adam wouldn't let him near the starting gates. He also is too young for swimming lessons so he gets upset when Gerrit gets to put on his suit and he does not. Its a rough summer being 2.
I think he'll like all the attention he'll get when he starts his 'official potty training' whenever we get a few days we don't have to be some place! Its amazing how fast the summer has filled up but I will attempt potty training before school starts...I think Emmit is ready its just that our schedule is not!
