CDR Problems and Swimming

First the knitting—

I have made what might be called unforgivable adjustments to the Cable-Down Raglan pattern. Should I rip it back and if so, how far? Is there enough ripping to count as frogging?

This is what it looks like in a bad picture.

And this is what the offending section looks like with the 'auto fix' button on my picture program. I really do need to fix it.


Now for family updates—

The Twins’ last day of zoo camp is tomorrow. They seem really tired, and since they have three more weeks scattered throughout the summer, I am hoping that this tired is coming from the tee-ball and swimming. The Elder Twin can swim underwater for short distances. The Younger Twin is defiantly being the younger twin, and enjoying every minute she can being dependant. However, she let me teach her out to push off from the edge. That was a cool big sister moment. Another of those moment happened when the Elder Twin trusted me to go under the water with her in a part of the pool she where could not touch bottom. Granted, we will probably have to go over the whole trust thing again next time, but it was still cool.

Mom let them jump off the big diving board. They had been asking nearly the entire time we were there, it was only when we were four of the seven people there that they were able to. They loved it. Too bad all the pictures I took are of a splash and bright green lifesaver ring. See? This is the best of them.
