Milestones in July

Before the end of July 2011, Joshua has first experienced:

Heat rash after sun exposure at the Lake. Joshua's back was red and tiny bumps developed two days after the Yosemite trip. He was warm, itchy and scratched his back. Mommy gave him minimal clothing and kept him cool.

Fluoride toothpaste and was instructed to rinse mouth while brushing his teeth.

No diapers/wearing underpants for potty training purpose.

A Demo class at Preschool for 1 hour with mommy and grandma accompanied.

Day Out With Thomas

Mommy decided to take the boys to a Thomas event on her birthday. Tickets were purchased two months ago. The boys were excited to ride Thomas the Train!! Kids were having fun and dressed in Thomas outfits. It was a great outing.

Hinz and Eunice

Hinz and Eunice came to visit us for a week after their trips to the East coast, Las Vegas, and LA. What a long journey! They were good enough to plan and tour around the states.

Swim class Achievement

Since the beginning of swimming class in February, Joshua has finally received his 1st Aqua Babies Ribbon. He is able to:

1. Independently sit/stand in shallow water
2. Go underwater 3 seconds
3. Kick legs in front float position
4. Comfortable back float in 1st position
5. Reach, grab wall independently hold for 3 seconds

The learning curve has been fluctuating. It started out all good and excited to grab the wall. Then Josh encountered some withdrawn symptoms and he was intimidated to go underwater. He was hitting a plateau until the last breakthrough. His last struggle was kicking legs in front float position. Now that he has achieved all the steps for the 1st level. Mommy and daddy are so proud of him!!! It's all worth it for the time, effort, and money. We are ready for the Intermediate level...
