The hungry little caterpillar


I think Adam is going through a growth spurt.  After a 2 hour nap yesterday and a big dinner, he slept until 8 this morning!!  Then he wanted to eat all day today.  He ate as much dinner as I did (OK- it was half a little frozen Wolfgang Puck pizza but that was after eating a bunch of apple slices and some graham crackers shortly before that).  He has also seemed a bit more gimpy lately too which is common among the hemi kids during growth spurts. 

He LOVES swimming!  We only have 3 more classes left this session which is good and bad. Bad because he likes it (well, he likes going around the lazy river and jumping off the side of the pool....he doesn't like doing the silly songs as much) and good because we have a crappy teacher.  We had "Joey" the last time we took lessons but after the first 2, another lady came in to teach (who was fantastic) and he was the helper.  He is very soft spoken and we don't do anything different from class to class.   Next week is sign up for summer session and I am torn.  Last summer we got stuck with a teenager who was about as good as "Joey" but at least she talked loud enough.  The adults who have taught the class have added stuff like little relay races, pulling themselves out of the water on the wall, jumping off the wall...just other things other than going around the lazy river a couple of times and singing silly songs.  Do I sign him up again and just deal with it like we have been (Adam kinda does his own thing half the time, otherwise he screams) or wait until he's 3 and can do the next level of classes?(This one is for 18-36 month olds).
