A also had the opportunity to go swimming with Daddy yesterday, as it was his day off. He tries to take her swimming every chance he gets, and he is a very good swimming teacher. Yesterday he taught A how to lay on her tummy with her hands and legs out in the water, in the correct swimming position. He also was able to convince her to put her face in the water (only once and not for very long, but her face was still in the water!) to blow bubbles. I'm amazed that he was able to teach her as much as he did during that short time in the pool.
I'm also trying to teach A how to play the piano (no pictures of the event yet), which is very fun. She gets quite a kick out of pushing the keys and making sounds. She even figured out how to play the Jaws theme (duh-Duh, duh-Duh, duh-Duh), but I haven't been able to get her to repeat it since that first time.
What lessons have you been teaching your kids? Any suggestions for what else I should be teaching mine?

She is at such a fun age. Enjoy it while it lasts. I always try and expose my kids to as much as possible and then take the lead from them on what they really want to do.
I am currently attempting to teach W1 not to poke L1 in the eye. It's slow going.
I don't think you will have to worry about this one, A is too sweet.
My fondest wish is to teach W1 to do a good job brushing his teeth by himself. I hate doing it for him (he isn't very cooperative). Maybe I should focus more on letters and numbers, I might have more success!
