See One, Do One, Teach One

I took a few (crummy) pictures of Lainey teaching her baby how to swim during her bath last night...she was cracking me up. Obviously, swimming lessons are making a great impression on her. She kept telling her baby what to do, and encouraging her along the way by saying, "We're almost done, we're almost done." :)

Baby jumped in and swam to Lainey.

Here she is on her tummy....

and here she is, floating on her back. Good work, Baby!

On a separate and more serious note, sweet baby Nash Sievers passed away three years ago today. I will never forget those first few days in the wake of his passing. I remember who called me with the news (Jackie), where I was when I answered the phone with the news (on Preston Road, just south of Spring Creek Parkway), what I did just hours before I got the call (had lunch with Jackie), what Lainey was wearing (a light pink dress with white flowers), the shock, despair, and heartbreak that I felt for Nash's family, the tears I shed for Tracy and Brad's sweet baby, and the subsequent hugs and squeezes and cuddles that I showered upon my own baby Lainey, just 2 months old at the time. Baby Nash, we remember you and all your sweetness and pray that you're keeping watch over those brothers of yours...as well as little baby #4. Thinking of and praying for your families today, Tracy and Brad.
