Dear Lincoln and Shea,
Tonight while I was bathing you two before bed, I laughed. Lincoln, I laughed at your mosquito bitten legs and how I could give you a geography lesson with just one limb. Shea, I laughed at your furious kicking and hearty smile when the water went over your ears as I rinsed your hair. You two are such water bugs. I've always loved the water too, so I'm not surprised; pools, oceans, sprinklers or whatever outlet was available, I loved it.
I admit I'm a little nervous about juggling the two of you at a public pool this summer. Last year I took you, Lincoln, as often as I could find 20 quarters stuck in the couch (which wasn't easy since we spent a lot of our quarters on the Racine parking meters to visit the library!). At first you loved walking into the shallow end and could be content there. But once I had taken you out to the deep where we would jump and practice swimming, you were ruined for anything else.
I've spent the first few weeks of summer at garage sales stocking up on swim suits for the two of you, so I hope your bath time fun is telling for our water dates this summer.
I love you mini minnows.
