Anna and Thomas are busy working on coordinating arms and legs for swimming, while Iain experiments with various swim accessories. He would not be satisfied, for example, until he had Anna's goggles on, just the way she wears them!
Unusually hot days had the pool temperature up well above its usual 75-ish, until an inch of rain fell a couple of nights ago! Still, the sunny afternoons make perfect pool weather, and we are enjoying the pool now in a way we haven't until the beginning of July.
Iain's vocabulary grows rapidly--we can hardly keep up with the words he's learning. My favorite is still 'bulldozer', which he pronounces boo-do-do. Just the sort of toddlerish that Anna and Thomas never really spoke. Thomas spoke not a word at 18 months, and by 22 months could spell his name. Anna, of course, has a language development pattern entirely her own. Thomas' most recent language invention, while I am on the topic, was the word 'mox': it is 'a mommy fox', of course!
