snorkel steve

beckam has always loved when dad goes out snorkeling and brings back a starfish for him, and he asked for snorkel gear for a long time before nana and papa came through for him. he got really good at it in our little baby pool, but the ocean was a little daunting for him…….until last week that is.



my little snorkel steve asked to bring his snorkel stuff to the beach with us, and then to my surprise, he wanted to go out and give it a try! before i knew it…..my little 3 year old was snorkeling all over the place telling me all about the sand, rocks, and toes he saw on the ocean floor! it was sooooo fun to see him actually snorkeling, and he was soooo excited! after beckam was done.....maddie asked to try…….

 i wasn't about to say no, but i wasn't even sure he'd get the mask on much less put his face in the water much less get the hang of the breathing thing so fast much less become a snorkeling baby expert all at the same time, but he did! next thing i know, my 1 year old is taking his turn snorkeling around!

 

it was the cutest thing EVER, and i was the proudest beach mom, but of course, i was the only one there to witness it! thankfully, it wasn't a one day thing, and dad took them both out for a spin the next day :) they were just as excited and just as cute and just as awesome as they were the day before!

 

they love looking for fish now, and beckam's still searching for his 1st starfish to bring back for mom :) never in my wildest dreams did i imagine going out snorkeling with these 2 little handsome men in the caribbean, and it's pretty stinkin awesome!

 

oh and one more little diddy for you……this is what you get when dad puts on your diaper while you're standing up after a lovely afternoon at the beach! hahahahaha love it!
