Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

My little Fishies...
Up until a few days ago, when we went to the pool, I had two little people who were still clinging to me most of the time...then from out of the blue, one day I had two little fearless fishies.
Ewan is a little boy who is very in tune with potential danger. He is way more cautious and careful than the other two. Before this week, when we would take Ewan swimming, he would cling to us and often cry dramatically "I GOING DIED!"
Sometimes, if he felt Heather was being too brave in the water he would say "Heady's going DIED!"
Cameron, who has always had a decreased awareness of physical danger, has been my fearless swimmer for a long time, he takes after his Daddy. He started going down the big water slide at the water park by himself when he was three.


You cannot imagine how much courage it took this little boy to let go...
His sister, on the other hand I call the "wild woman" to which she replies "dats wight! I woman!" (Notice Ewan doing his very cautious version of fallowing after Heather)

"Dat's wight! I woman!" K, that's so awesome. Glad your're getting her trained young! That looks like so fun to go swimming especially since it's been snowing outside!!! By the way...where did you get Ewan's swimsuit?
