Zander funny / swim lessons

Zander has a runny nose, he's had it for a few days and I don't know if it's a cold or alergies or from all the fires we have here and ash falling from the sky.

a n y w a y . . . He's tired and teething again so I was trying to get him to sleep. I gave him a few Hyland's teething tablets that he gladly ate up. He grabbed the bottle of Little Colds from me and put the dropper top in his mouth and began to suck, like it was a nipple! I said "Zan there is no milk in there", lol. Then I gave him a dropper full of the cold medicine to help with his runny nose. He does the cutest thing when he has it: he shudders and shivers and shakes his head because of the taste. Then he opens his mouth and tries not to taste it and whispers "ooh, ohh" while shuddering. So dang cute.

We had our last swim lesson tonight and Zander recieved his first of many "Certificate of Completions". I'm such a sap I got all teary eyed reading it and thinking that this is the first of many. Swim lessons were fun, Zander really likes to people watch. He didn't learn to swim and I wasn't expecting that at all. But he was exposed to the water and the atmosphere. I learned things I need to do to teach him to swim and I got over my fear of getting him to take a breath and dunk his head under water (I was so scared!). Zander was a few months younger than most of the babies there. The other kids were working on kicking more than he would, but I know what to keep doing now. Definitely worth $6 for the lessons. :-)
