first swim lesson and trash truck day!!!

Saturday was a big day in our house.

Jayden had his first "big boy" swim lesson. He's been doing Parent/Child swim lessons for the last 7 weeks and has done so well his teacher decided it was time to move him up! Now, our sweet boy is very scared of new things and we were concerned he would be afraid of being left at the pool without Mommy or Daddy. And we were right. Dan ended up having to stay the entire time and there was quite a bit of crying. But, he did get in the pool with the teacher once or twice. See?

Other than that, he did a lot of clinging to Daddy. So we will try again on Saturday.

After that fun was over, however, we headed off to the trash truck open house!! Eli and Jayden, but esp. Eli, are OBSESSED with trash trucks and trash cans. The Los Angeles Department of Sanitation holds yearly open houses where they do trash truck demonstrations, give out plants and trees, and give out toy trash cans. Awesome, to say the least. So the boys had a blast, and they even fed us free hamburgers and hot dogs. YUM.

Pointing at a trash truck...
Getting to drive the trucks. Does life get much better than this?

They got to play a game where they picked which trash can different items go in and then got the toy trash can as a reward!!

Grandma and Stephanie came too and Jayden enjoyed potting a plant with Grandma!

All in all, great fun was had by all!!! Yay for the Department of Sanitation!!!

Let's hope great fun will be had by Jayden at swim class this week!!
