Bradley has had a very busy few weeks. He started swimming lessons in April. Every Saturday in April we went to the YMCA for swimming lessons. He actually already knows how to swim--for the most part. We just wanted some official training. The lessons were very relaxed. He would just put his head under water a few times, float on his back and then get to slide down a slide (which of course was his favorite part). So I am not sure if he is a better swimmer now or not:) The first Sunday in May he had his end of the year party for his AWANA Cubbies program. AWANA is a program at our church where Bradley goes every Sunday night and they learn Bible verses every week and earn badges. To me it is kind of like Boy Scouts for God. Then this past Friday he graduated from Pre School. The program was just wonderful. Bradley helped lead the pledge to the flag. He was so funny. They had learned songs for the program and the songs had motions. Bradley put his hands in his pockets and sang without doing any motions. It was very deliberate. He also called out to his cousin, Landon, while he was on stage. While on stage, Bradley said to one of his friends in a very loud voice, "Austin, there is my cousin Landon." Then Bradley noticed other family members there and shouted out, "hey grandaddy!" It was so funny and as Jason said--borderline embarrassing:) So what a wonderful past few weeks we have had. This week Bradley has pictures for Pre School, an in school field trip with a petting zoo and a water day. We are looking forward to a fun summer.
We took Bradley and Lindy to a couple of "shows". Bradley and Lindy both went to see My Little Pony and we took Bradley to the circus. Thankfully My Little Pony was the first event and we realized Lindy would never sit still long enough to enjoy the circus so we just took Bradley to that. Bradley and Lindy both enjoyed the My Little Pony Live Show. Lindy wanted to hug the ponies and did not totally understand why she could not go up on stage. Bradley was actually mesmorized the entire show and just sat there and watched every minute. Lindy got a little wiggly about an hour into the show. What else would we expect from a 2 year old:) The circus was also fun. Bradley really enjoyed seeing all the acts and animals. He talks about one of the men riding the little bicycle all the time.
