Three boys in a tub



Why the boys all want to sit in a tupperware container when the pool is right behind them, I don't know, but they enjoyed it nonetheless. Thanks to our friend Kristen who had her camera on hand to catch the photo.

They have enjoyed the pool. I often now am there alone with the three of them, which is doable, but not preferable. There are always moments like Wednesday... Silas was outside the pool playing, Kenan on the steps where he could easily stand, so Dawson and I started racing the width of the pool. We only went across once and then started talking when I heard Kenan saying, "Mommy, Mommy, Silas!"I turned around and Silas had somehow gotten into the pool without making a sound and was drowning. So thankful for Kenan letting me know. He now recounts the story of how he saved his brother because, as he says, he waved his hands in the air and said "warning, warning!" Maybe not how it happened, but thankful that he said something so I turned around and saw Silas. So now Dawson has alerted me to Kenan drowning (we saw him quickly) and Kenan has alerted me to Silas underwater. Thankful for God's protection. I'm ready for all these boys to learn to swim! :)
