For those of you who don't know Clark- he can be quite the little spit-fire when he wants to. He can also be very stubborn.Today after swim lessons I let Kate and Clark get in the pool to swim with me. I have been trying to get Clark to roll on his back to take a breath and he will NOT do it. So today he was swimming from the play step to the rocks, jumping off and swimming back. I was trying to get him to take a breath in the middle and he did not want to. One time he got to the rocks, climbed up and was ready to jump when I told him to swim to me, take a breath and then swim the rest of the way. He just said," Mom, I am an expert. I can swim all the way across by myself."
I was flabergasted! When did he know what an 'expert' is? Although; he did jump off and swim all the way across with no breath!

Oh boy, I think you might have that same problem with Douglas ! He seems to forget breathing altogether when he swims. And do you see how I feel ALL day - there are words Douglas uses ( and in the right context ) and I'm like, where the heck did you learn that !
We were sad not to make it today either. Douglas wasn't feeling bad at all by later this morning. But I wad pretty miserable. But we will for sure be there tomorrow !
I'm so glad I got to witness that. It was hilarious! He definitely has a mind of his own and when he sets out to do something, he will do it!
He was saying that earlier in the day like,"He is an expert." And I think that he was directing that at Jack, or when I was jump roping... Finny!
So funny!
