Swimming and Tater tots

Today was Gideon's first swimming lesson, and he was very excited to be there. He smiled the entire time (except when he got water in his eyes, he hates that). Here he is getting ready to practice kicking.




After kicking, he did some laps with the swim bars. He was so proud after one that he jumped out, ran over to me, pulled my hands apart, gave me a high five, then ran back over and jumped back in. Here is some video of him smiling and swimming with a little help:

After that lap he jumped out, ran over, hugged me, and said "I love you, Dad" in his best cool voice, then ran back again. I think he had a great time.

On the way home we had a thrilling recap of his love for tater tots as we passed Sonic.
G: I really love tater tots. They ARE my favorite thing ever. I wish there was a whole city of tater tots. I would eat it all up. I would eat the whole world. The buildings and everything.
J: The people would have nowhere to live then? They would scream and run, yelling no, don't eat our houses giant Gideon! But you would be like, "Nom Nom Nom!"
G: I would just eat the houses and things too.
J: what about the people? Would you turn them into tater tots too?
G: yeah, I would eat everyone except Mommy and Daddy. Sylvie and I would eat them. And we would eat Mommy and Daddy too actually.
J: oh no! Then we would have to fight you. We would make giant ketchup guns to shoot you!
G: well, my guns would have cheese and mustard in them to shoot you with!!!

At this point I just have him a high five for awesomeness.
