Swim Lessons

Sophia has started swim lessons this week. She is taking them at Fishers High School at the recommendations of Beck. So far I really like it. It is a really nice facility and I don't have to get in the water with Sophia. The problem is that Sophia doesn't really like the lessons...actually she likes them as long as she doesn't have to get her hair or face wet. She says she keeps getting water in her nose. I have come to the conclusion that she likes the fashion better then the swimming. When she met her instructor Matt, she said rather quickly, "Hi. I'm Sophia. I have flowers on my bathing suit. I have a new bathing suit too. It's blue with flowers on it. I'll wear it for you on Thursday." It was really cute but I hope that she doesn't want to try all these new sports just for the clothing. She is really excited for ballet, which starts in a month and she already has her outfits for it. I am wondering if she is excited for ballet because of the pink shoes with the pink leotard with the pink tights. Oh well, she is my mini-me after all.

Jim surprised me this week by saying that he doesn't think that the baby looks like a Joseph. For those of you who don't know this...we have always said that our second boy would be named Joseph Andrew. When Christian was born we decided not to go with Joseph because Christian seemed like a better fit. So I assumed that when we found out this next baby was a boy, we would then name him Joseph Andrew. Well, Jim said when he saw the ultrasound he said it didn't look like a Joseph and he decided that he didn't like the name Joe. He said when he is coaching his basketball team, he was trying to envision himself saying, "Go Joe" and he didn't like the way it sounded. So now we are looking through our family histories for a new name. We are also looking through the Bible and at the meanings of names. So far most names Jim likes, I do not and names I like, Jim does not. I know we have some time before we actually need a baby name but I like to get things done now so finding a baby name has been added to the high priority list.
