Growing Kids

Kid Zone is taking all the kids swimming on Monday. This outing is sponsored by a local business and they are supplying all the volunteers for the outing so I'm not even going along. Jon Felipe and Maria have grown so much since last summer, however, that we did need to get them both new swimsuits. Being the last of the big spenders, we took both kids to Walmart. JF picked one, tried it on under duress, and we bought that one. He refused to model it after we got home. Maria picked out a few and tried them all on. As she was showing us a couple she liked, my husband helpfully pointed out that one of them was a two-piece (a tankini style). I thought I heard shades of "Are you really going to let my daughter swim in public in a two-piece?" in his voice, but I could be wrong. She finally chose a one-piece which I think looks very nice on her. Of course, she was happy to try it on again after we got home. Doesn't she look cute!
