Tuesday morning I was nursing Kaylie in her room, I could hear Emma rummaging around in her room doing something. A few minutes later she came out buck naked carrying her bathing suit and proclaimed, "mommy I want to go swimming!"
Our city community center has a great indoor toddler pool and we had nothing else planned so I told her we could go. She then went into my room, got out the storage box of baby summer clothes, pulled out all four baby bathing suits and demanded I get Kaylie dressed. It took awhile to convince her we couldn't go at 7 am.
This was actually the first time I attempted to take both kids by myself and I think we did rather well. Emma put on a life jacket and splashed around the pool for 45 minutes while Kaylie and I hung out in the shallow end. Our only major hiccups were when I couldn't find Emma in the locker room because she had actually climbed into one of the lockers, and her meltdown in the parking lot when we tried to leave. With Kaylie in one arm I literally had to drag Emma kicking and screaming to the car.

I love how random the swimming idea was. I feel like Ruthie just has these ideas pop in her head and then we figure out how to accomplish them. I loved the kicking and screaming in the parking lot too! Sounds like mine!
