little nemo!

swimming lessons saturdays are one of our favorite things in statia. beckam asks about the pool every day and has really progressed with his swimming if you can call it that! the school rents out the pool here, and then some of the students volunteer and teach the kids swim lessons. it's awesome :)

 

mads LOVES the water! he floats around in his floaty and plays with flutter boards and watches the kids swim and spalshes and is just a happy little camper! we still dunk him every once in a while too, and he loves it!

 

 

i love the next 3 succession pictures. beckam was so happy with dad carrying him around, totally not ok with being on his own, and completely unimpressed that his dad would ever do that to him. haha love it!

beckam has actually become quite the little nemo though. he went from keeping his legs around me with a death grip to swimming on his own completely! he started in maddox's baby floaty and now jumps in and swims back to the ladder with his puddle jumper wonder. it's awesome, and we're so proud of him! his favorite thing to do though is to sit on the side and kick and splash whoever is swimming by. thankfully, he can take some of his own medicine!

 

cara and lianna were practicing their synchronized swimming routine - you go girls! haha

OH MY WORD BECKAM IS SO FUNNY! He is such a little man now I love the scowle he is giving his Dad here. I am sure it will not be the last time he disagrees with what Mom and Dad do, lol. We love the pool and miss you here at our pool, COME BACK!
