Summer Swimming and Carpet Rides

You are most definitely a water baby! Not only do you love bath time, but you love swimming too. Well, not quite "swimming" but walking around in the water and going splish splash. You are with your Mom right now at your second swimming class, which I'm sure you'll love...except for the part where they're teaching you to be submerged. But, even one scary moment can't make you get out of the water.

We've had our blow-up pool inflated just about every weekend and you will basically climb into it to go swimming. In this regard, you're just like your Daddy: I love swimming too...well, not quite swimming, but walking around in water and going splish splash.





Speaking of water, the other day I spilled some in the kitchen and grabbed a recently-used swimmin' towel to clean up the mess. Later on that day, the towel was dry and still on the floor (because that's how Daddies can clean effectively) and you saw it. Your Mommy and you invented a super fun game called "Magic Carpet Ride!"

Of course, it all looks like fun and games, but the really amazing part for us (besides how much you loved (and the dogs) loved it) was that it really dawned on us how much you truly understand us. I don't think we've ever really told you to "lay down" before when your safety depended on it, but while playing this game, we asked you to lay down and you did it!

So, to reward our good boy, we dragged him around the kitchen floor on a dirty towel all while being licked by dogs. Good parenting!
