June 13, 2008

Landry saw his first fireworks show last night. He did not know what was going on. Initially he was mesmerized and then he got a little scared. Landry had to move to Tyler's lap. Apparently, he feels safer with Tyler holding him than me holding him.
We went to the opening ceremonies of the Utah Summer Games. The blanket gave him even more security.
He had about the same reaction to the Collin Raye concert after the fireworks. We were about fifty feet from the stage. Hopefully, there is no permanent hearing damage. After everything was over we asked him how he liked the fireworks and the music (he had refused to acknowledge us while everything was going on). He let us know that he liked the fireworks and the music - although I think he was happy to be back in his comfort zone (in his car seat in the van).
Kolby and Addie spent a good part of the afternoon with a friend watching Summer Games soccer. Kolby was really anxious for the fireworks to begin. Luckily, we had friends to hang out with while waiting for the show. Kolby seems impressed with the fireworks.
Addie also enjoyed the show. She passed Level 1 in swimming lessons today! Addie has become a completely different person in the water. I would never think that two weeks of lessons can make such a difference. Especially since the other 3 sessions did not produce any results.
