Helping Daddy Shovel

Jace really likes being outside in the snow and for the longest time would watch Curt shovel the walks from the front window.  It has started to get nice out and I found Jace a little shovel so he can help his dad!  Jace is quite emphatic these days on what he wants.  A lot of the time he refuses to put his mitts on, so we don't even make it out of the house.  On this day he was all for getting dressed up to go help dad!  I love all of these pictures, it just shows how big he is getting.  Our favorite part of the days are his little laugh.  You can hear it throughout the house and makes both Curt and I smile each time!

After Jace was done shoveling at our house, we loaded him up in the car and dropped him off at Nana and Papa's for an hour so he could shovel their walks.  When we came to pick him up, he had settled in nicely in their new basement with his bowl of snacks, Tika beside him and cartoons on the TV.  Tough life being 2!

 

 

 

 

Swimming Lessons

Jace started swimming lessons this week and Curt and I decided that we would each take a turn going in the pool with him.  I got the first day.  He did pretty good, and really liked being in the water for the most part.  The only problem was he was too busy!  The instructor would want him to float on his back and he kept asking to go play basketball or go on the slide, lol.  I had to jump out of the water 'quickly', that being a relative term these days to try to catch him sometimes!  The kids had to practice going up the ladder and to the slide on their own, and sometimes the instructor got sidetracked with another student so that elft the parents to jump out and get the kids!  Curt and my mom watched and laughed from the balcony.  Curt's turn next week!  Stay tuned for more pictures!
