The latest...

My little Slim Jim running towards the sprinkler this morning.

Hi everyone! Hope your week is off to a good start. It's been busy for us the past few days. Over the weekend we had a great time playing at our neighborhood pool. We are so proud of how well BC is doing with his swimming. He will now jump in to us (without holding our hands!) and even do about 5 kicks or so to swim back and forth between us. It's awesome to see him swimming like this! We still have a long way to go, but just the fact that he loves the water so much makes us happy. We've really been having fun at the pool these days.

Yesterday, we went to Sea World and met up with Little Miss, Aunt J, and another toddler and her mama. It was a scorcher out and it seemed like everyone around here is trying to get in one last trip to a theme park before school gets going. It was very crowded. But the great thing about Sea World is that you don't have to wait in any lines and a lot of the exhibits are indoors, so you do have a chance to cool off. My free pass that I got for being a Florida teacher is about to expire at the end of the month, so I hope to get us back there at least one more time. Bear Cub absolutley loves it and is so interested in all of the animals there. It's a really good learning experience and he has so much to talk about after we've been. Unfortunately...I FORGOT my camera at home! GASP!!! I couldn't believe it, but by the time I realized it was at home, we were too far on the road. Oh well. You can believe that he had a great time and slept like a rock last night from all the fun. :) Me too.


This morning we had two of his friends come over for a little play date and that also went really well. I was proud to see him share his toys without any fuss and the kids had fun playing in the frog pool and the sprinkler. He's sleeping now --- ready for a nap after being on the go so much.


As for the rest of the week, no real plans until Saturday morning when we are going up to Jacksonville to visit my best friend from WAY back and her family. Her little boy is just 4 months older than BC and the last time they were together they had a blast. We're excited about that and I'll be SURE to bring my camera and get lots of pics of our boys together.


Have a great week!
