swimming lessons

We thought it a good idea to give Taylor swimming lessons in Omi & Poppy's pool. Apparently, we were wrong. Mistake #1 - Putting Taylor in a life vest. Patrick was under the impression that it would hold her up perfectly (on her belly) and she would instantly know how to swim. In reality, the second he let go of her she was thrown onto her back. She was no longer even remotely interested in learning to swim. In fact, she was so disinterested she told us that she would "rather take a nap". We're not sure when she learned the word, 'rather'.

We did get some pictures before the whole thing went south. Next time we won't use the life jacket.
