Before and After

{-----AFTER

Before

Our balcony SUCKS! Lincoln was throwing stuff of the railing and such. So we put up some netting. Than it had 0 shade so we found these umbrella's and with a few zip ties we now have this fancy place for Lincoln to play. Soft, some shade and safe :) We are really happy how it turned out! Thanks to my parents for helping us finish this up!

Beautiful Sunday SuNnY morning

17 months Lincoln Chad Zimmerman

All grown UP!!

He is loves trying to feed himself,

And the JAMBA juice kids sippies are the BEST ever!

For once something really does not leak

We have a love/hate relationship with swimming

I know this kind of swim lesson's is not something that everyone agrees with and that is ok because I LOVE it!! Lincoln now has the skill of rising to the top of the pool and go straight to his back to float all by himself. The chances of him ever drowning are slim. (I know about the What ifs) But my little guy will be very safe this summer in the pool. And that type of feeling is PRICELESS for me. He fusses the whole lesson but still has great success every week. He can easily float for over a minute and has almost mastered getting from his back than to the side of the pool, turning over and holding on. I am so proud of him and how well he is doing. I am excited for the summer
and all the relaxing pool days to come.

FACTS:

*An average of 9 people die drowning per day
*19% of drowning deaths involve children occur in a public pool with lifeguards present

*70% of preschoolers who drown are usually in the care of BOTH parents
