Caleb’s birthday party

So…we scheduled Caleb’s party at the community pool where we are members.   It was cheap and awesome!!  Being that it was a Friday night and school sports started again the pool was empty!  We hadnt rented it out though you can during off hours.  But since it was normal hours all we had to pay was for those who werent pool members to be guests, which was $3 per child and $4 per swimming adult.  So it was a great deal and it was empty  due the day and time so it was as if we had rented it out.  The weather was awesome as well.  So we had a really great time, at least I know I did!   I’m thinking we will have a swim party for him there every year now, that’s how cool it was.   Lots of pics up on Flickr.

Tonight was a big night for Bo as well.  He decided he’d jump off the diving board w/out the lifeguard spotting him as he did in swim class.   Of course I was busy and didnt know Daddy approved of this, usually Bo is only allowed to jump off the board when the life guard is in the deep end w/ the safety float just in case since Bo hasnt been able to swim to the side by himself, well until this week!!   So at some point during the party I saw Bo jump off and swim to the side w/out help and couldnt believe it.  So I grabbed the camera and hoped he’d do it again, silly me!!  the time I saw him do it wasnt the first time, he’d been doing it over and over again.  He’s been jumping off in the 3 foot side of the pool and swimming out to us pretty far but I didnt know he was that confident yet and it’s so exciting.  he’s not even 4!!  the boy may be speech delayed but he sure makes up for it with his physical skills.    we know he’s going to be the star athlete of all the three boys.   my boys are getting so big!!
