Just Keep Swimming…

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: swimming, Wordless Wednesday

Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.

-Dory {Finding Nemo}

 

I love his face in this photo and that water drop coming from his chin.

 

Cool Dude.

 

He looks like he is saying, “Hey, whats up?!”

 These photos were from when we went swimming at my aunt house. She has such a nice pool. Dustyn had a blast. She has a little boy a few years older then Dustyn. They had fun, but he said Dustyn whines too much. I couldn’t agree more. He has been so whiny lately. I hope it is just a stage. He seemed like he was just getting to the stage where we had a lot of fun together. Now if he wants something or you don’t give him the right thing, he just cries and whines. If you all have some advice on what to do when your older child regresses to a baby. I would love to hear it. Please. What did you do?

I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday.

    Such fun shots....I love Dory I can't stop smiling. As for phases, my theory is they last 6 months and are replaced by another....consequently you forget the previous:) Tiffany

    Great shots! Although, I am no help with the whining thing. Noah hit 2.5 and he started with the whining again. Maybe it's just a phase!

  23. Courtney says

    July 20, 2011 at 9:42 am

    Great shots! Looks like he's having a blast. The whining.... definitely a phase - or it was with both my kids. I just refuse to pick Presley up when she's whining or give her what she wants while she's whining. I've also been known to send my kids to their room until they can stop the whining, tantrum, etc. It wears on you. Consistency is key. Hang in there and good luck!

    When I saw the title of your post I immediately thought " Fish are FRIENDS, NOT food!" Thats the only line I can ever remember from the movie. It looks like you guys had a really great swimming trip. The captures are amazing. I'm glad I hopped over, I'm your newest follower! Happy Wordless Wednesday :)

    What worked for us was remaining consistent..which meant listening to the whining & fits (in publuc & private) but if our children saw we gave in..they had won. So during those instances I got on eye level and parented as I normally would & gave consequences if they didn't listen..and that meant leaving fun places, etc...but they got THAT message real quick & understood no matter how they acted to get what they wanted..their behavior won them nothing but punishment. I hope that makes sense...it IS a phase..just stay strong & consistent with your parenting..he'll stop it soon!!
    • NapTime MomTog says
