Today it was back to the grind. Brian was back to work and we were back to our regularly scheduled summer. I think Ellie is glad to be back in her own bed! She slept great last night, had a long nap this morning and another nap after swimming lessons.
We have swimming lessons again this week. They had hard lessons today! Emily made them work. Eliza is working on her breathing so she breathes out in the water and only has to come up to inhale. And Libby needs to work on her "Barbie" arms. She told Libby that she would not move if Libby did big arms. But if she was dog-paddling, Emily would keep moving back. Well, once she did great, but once she didn't hardly do any arms so Emily kept moving back. But, Libby swam the entire length of the pool taking only one breath and kicking her feet ferociously! I was so impressed. Now if she can get the arms down, it'll be easy for her to do that since she obviously can do it! And Ellie did better. She still cried while Emily was working with her, but she sat on the step a couple of times when it wasn't her turn instead of getting out and sitting on a chair.
Tonight was Family Home Evening and for our game we played charades. We hadn't played in a while and we had a fun time acting out some different things than normal--Sportacus (from LazyTown), a sample giver-outer at Costco, a ladybug, mom running on the treadmill, a Weeble, etc. Speaking of me running. I took all my gear to go at the hotel, but after we got everyone sleeping at night, it was just too late! Ugh. Now I am going to have to get back into it. ...not looking forward to that.
