What an eventful day!!!

Today started out great..Kristen woke up around 8:30am we had breakfast and were off to a great start. I had to keep her up from her nap because she had her first swim lesson at 12:30pm which is right during her nap time. Needless to say, she was getting whiny and was ready to lie down by the time we got in the car to go to the lesson. She fell asleep just as we got to the pool. Her five minute naps do her wonders because she has a burst of energy after them. We got to the pool and Kristen met her swim instructor Tawny. Paul went into the water with Kristen while I took pictures. Tawny had Kristen kick, float on her back, dunk under the water for a pool stick, and jump off the side all the way under the water! Not ONE tear came from her eyes today! She did so well with everything. She loved jumping off the side while someone was holding her hands! It was so fun to watch her excitement!

Once we got home we had a little lunch and Kristen was ready to lie down for her nap. When she woke up she didn't cry, but played for a little bit in her crib quietly. When I went upstairs to get her, I found her totally nude with her diaper off and poop smeared all over the bed!! AAAHHH!! I couldn't believe that she pulled her diaper off...I was amazed. Luckily she didn't touch the poop with her hands...I am not sure how that happened..but her feet were covered in it! The lesson learned here is to never put Kristen to sleep in just a diaper..she needs to have shorts or a onsie on!

Tonight we went to Rubio's for dinner and Paul gave Kristen his cup with a few ice cubes in it to play with while we finished our dinner. Well somehow she got an ice cube lodged in her throat and began to choke..(turning red and the whole bit). Instinctly I pounded her back with one swift hit and the ice cube came flying out! Kristen looked at me like, "Why did you hit me Mommy?", but it was just my natural reaction! I obviously did not mean to make her cry! I felt horrible but so glad that the ice cube came up! Thank God.

Once we got home we settled down watched a little Sesame Street and got ready for bed. What a day we had!
