Pool Time!
September 23
We walked to the pool today (which ended up being closed) and as we passed by the pond there were a bunch of ducks. The boys thought one of one of them was Lovable. They called to the one near by and the duck popped up and walked to the boys. We are pretty sure that one is lovable. The boys and Priya were so excited to see him again!
We went to the pool in the evening with Mike and a Spanish speaking grandma and grand-daughter showed up. The little girl looked to be about four years old. Priya gravitated towards her right away. The little girl was swimming with a vest on by herself with her grandma sitting in the lounge chairs. Priya followed her around the pool in her own little vest and they soon became friends! The little girl couldn’t speak English, but she and Priya played all sorts of games together for two hours! Towards the end of our time there, Priya was singing and then put her palms together and closed her eyes. I saw her mouth moving and wondered if she was praying. Priya stopped and walked over me and said she was praying! I’m so thankful for her love of God. We have been watch a bunch toddler God teaching shows and she is soaking it in! She stopped asking for the secular cartoons like Clifford or Berenstain Bears since we got here and asks for the Jesus teaching shows! Anyways... Meanwhile, Julian and Brennan were working on their jumping tricks the whole time. Lol! Brennan has trouble going passed the three-foot level of the pool. He has been working everyday on his swimming. Now he can almost swim properly underwater and he is inching deeper and deeper every couple of days! Go Brennan!
Brennan asked me how to ask the girl her name. I reached back to my middle school and high school Spanish and told him. Florida has even more Spanish speaking people than I thought! The boys are eager to learn Spanish so they can communicate with others. I will be teaching them Spanish along with their homeschool. Next time we visit everyone in GA or NY we might be bilingual! Haha, j/k!
