Devin's Swimming

I know I have posted a lot about Devin's swimming lately, but its something I am really excited about. Its something we do daily and he has made so much progress. Here is a little collection of his progress the last week or so.

Papa Time

Devin has been working on his batting skills with Daddy the past few days. So over the week-end when we visited my parents, naturally, Papa (being a former sports Dad and Coach) tried his hand at teaching Devin.
Devin is doing very well at batting for only having a few day's practice. (Especially if the pitcher is accurate- me, not so much!) He also has one heck of a throwing arm! Here is a quick video of his skills:

Swimming

Swimming has been Devin's favorite activity this summer, and he is pretty good at it! Poor kid does have to wear a lot of gear to get in the pool though. First he has his molded ear plugs due to his ear tubes, over that he wears a headband to make sure that we don't lose the ear plugs. He also wears his life vest which makes him VERY mobile in the pool! All in all our pool has been a life saver this summer!

Here is a quick video of Devin swimming all the way down to the deep end.

A lot of the time in the pool is spent with our neighbor Lexi. These 2 are so cute together!

Pre-School Celebration (Post Do-Over)

Saturday was Devin's first Pre-School Celebration. It was so cute! The kids sang songs and they showed a picture slide show with shots from throughout the year. They followed that up with a brunch buffet catered by the parents. Yum!


Here is Devin with one of his best school buddies, "A"
This is Devin sitting with "Mrs" K during the slide show. She was Devin's first teacher when he started at this school in the fall. He absolutely adores her and was heartbroken when she got married in May.

Here is a video clip of the song that Devin's class "sang/performed" minus a couple of the shy kiddos who backed out at the last minute! Clearly my kid isn't shy~ little ham!

A Minute with Devin

Please notice that during Devin's "show" he says "D-i-n and that's my name!!!"

Bahaha! Soo funny! I always sing this song to him: "There is a boy who has a name and Devin is his name- D-E-V-I-N, D-E-V-I-N, D-E-V-I-N and Devin is his name!"

Brownie Sundaes

Today was a nice, lazy family day. We did not do much in terms of productivity, but one thing that we did do was make brownies for Brownie Sundaes (yes, very important indeed!).

Devin really enjoyed being a part of this process. We told him that he could help pour the ingredients in and stir the batter. He loved being up on the "wadder" so that he could reach.


As you would imagine, Devin couldn't wait to sample the brownie batter and he dug in as quickly as he could get his little fingers in there!

Here is a video of Devin "making brownies."



And just in case you wanted to see the finished product....
