Swimming Lessons!

This week, Tessie is taking swimming lessons at the local pool. Mostly just frolicking in the water, the "lessons" consist of an instructor lobbing pool toys over the kids' heads, then urging them to "scoop" (i.e., dogpaddle) their way toward them. Tessie enjoys it quite a bit, even though it was very cold in the pool today. She was shivering, but resisted all attempts to get her to come out and warm up until the lesson was over.

Even then, she refused to take off her new goggles!

Variations on a theme

On our rather drizzly commute this morning, Tessie was amusing herself by coming up with new lyrics to "The Wheels on the Bus," such as:

"The bees on the bus go 'buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz...'"

and, somewhat less comprehensibly:

"The honey pot on the bus goes 'honey honey honey, honey honey honey, honey honey honey...'"

But my favorite has to be this one:

"The Daddy on the bus goes 'I love Tessie too, I love Tessie too, I love Tessie too...'"
