Rainy day..... Ok we will go swimming!

We had planned on go swimming today because it is Chances day off. Little did we know that when we woke up it would be pouring rain outside! Seriously super windy and pouring!! Nope that didnt stop us. We already told Blake that we were going to go swimming and that is all he could talk about. So we carried on our plans and went to the INDOOR pool in Lehi. Blake LOVES this pool. There are lots of places where he can stand and walk around all by himself, He goes down all the slides and loves the big huge bucket that spills over. My friend Katlin and her little boy (Blakes good friend) Rylan came with us to. It was so much fun. Rylan was so good and went down each slide once even though he was scared! Cute boy. I have noticed that Blake is really ok just going around and doing things all by himself. In fact he almost prefers it that way. He didnt want me or Chance holding him or helping him. He wants to do it all by himself.

Right when we got there, Blake ran right into the water and sat down. He went out as far as he could go to where the water was at his chin,  and sat there for like 15 minutes while he observed what all the other kids were doing. Then he made a run for it! He stood right up and ran all around and played. There are two slides that go pretty fast and at the end you pretty much go all the way under. Blake would go all the way under and just get right back up. I am so used to needing to be right there and grab him while he is under and pulling him up. He no longer needs me to do that :( It is  very bitter sweet. I am so excited that he is daring enough and smart enough to know exactly what to do when he goes under water. I am so proud of him. But on the other hand he is starting to get so independent and doesnt need mommy there as much anymore. I am so glad he is such a fish and just wants to have fun all the time.

So i am on bed rest and didnt think i was going to be able to be at the pool all summer long. But my doctor actually suggested that i spend a lot of time in the pool. As long as Chance is with me so he can be with Blake, he said that the pool can actually help my blood pressure a lot. He said they dont know why but that it has been proven to work! I was like well thank goodness because we have seven peaks passes and i plan on getting good use out of them!
