Good 'ol fashioned Spring FUN!H

Slip-n-Slide! He finally got the hang of it. And I could SEE the disappointment on Zoe's face when she realized it wasn't a pool for her to soak in. Oh my. I'm going to have to fill the frog pool up again, just keep my swimming pup happy!

Needless to say, he didn't need a bath that night! And he smelled quite manly and nice after generously applying all that shaving cream!

I eventually was quite a mess too. All in good (and clean!) fun!

Loving the new hair!

Well, it's only April and I can honestly say that we spend more time in our bathing suits than in our regular clothes...already! Bear Cub has officially become a fish at the pool. He can SWIM! He is doing so great...I really am proud. In fact, his swim teacher "tossed" him into the pool today, to test what he would do. Well, he quickly popped up, turned around, and kicked to the wall. And he happily had her do it again! We hear all kinds of comments at the pool from other parents to their kids...like, "See that little boy? He's swimming and he's smaller than you!" or "Wow, he can really swim!" We can't help but puff up with some pride...it's just nice to every once in a while be on that side of a situation! :)

BC has also discovered a real love of shaving cream, as you can see in these photos! He loves to spread it all around our patio table, drive his vehicles through it and make up little stories as he goes along. We have a great book called, My Truck is Stuck!, so he started making up a different words with his "piles of snow" as he called the shaving cream. But what amazed me was how he kept the rhyming pattern going (and correctly too!) even with his new words. So, not only is he having a ball with the shaving cream, but he's practicing his literacy skills too. Ha! Yes, I'm a teacher dork, I know.

You'll also see that he has a new, VERY short hair cut. It's his summer look. :) He now gets his hair buzzed every Friday by Daddy, and last week, we decided to go for it and take the front tuft off too. It is SO easy to keep and no tangles from the chlorine water. Mighty handsome, if I do say so myself. :)

We're off to Indiana this week to visit his great-grandparents, so I'll be sure to blog once we're home. Have a great week ahead and we'll be back soon!
