Attempt at #11 of My Bucket List

My Little Water Boy

I am so proud of Scotty. He's learning how to hold his breath under water. I took a little clip of him holding his breath underwater with Daddy. He's showing alot of skin in this one (hehe) because he made doo doo in his trunks outside of the pool. I guess we have a long way to go before we'll ever see any progress with #6 of My Bucket List. But, atleast we're making a little headway with teaching him how to swim.

My little Fishy.

Tell me if you think Scotty looked like the girl in Whale Rider when she's riding the whale at the end of the movie. haha. Brett doesn't think it's funny becuase he thinks I was calling him a whale. lol.

Line said...: Good job Scotty! And good job with the swimming lessons mommy and daddy! And... LOL @ Brett not thinking the Whale Rider comment was funny. Hahaha, too funny...; July 2, 2008 at 9:05 PM
The Croft's said...: Yay for Scotty!! Kare, he's doing soo good. I can't believe he can hold his breath that long. The plan is to come down in two weeks. We're on passes because I refused to spend another $1,200 on this adoption for plane tickets. Noe's not coming because that week we promised my mother in-law she could have her. I hope we can get together. I'll call you once we land and we can figure something out. Worse case we may drive but we'll see.; July 3, 2008 at 2:04 PM
