Swimming + This and That

We had a swimming breakthrough!  My son managed to move his body through the water independently and he's so thrilled.  He's been comfortable playing in water for a long time, but lacked the coordination to swim.  I'm still not signing off on completely independent water play, but it was fun to see the progress :)

I'm off to Sea Ranch soon, so it's time for my first blogging break!


Cute antics:

• continuing his hatred of the fact that humans must have bowel movements by modifying the Gingerbread Boy rhyme, "I held it in all night.  I'll hold it in all day.  I can.  I can." (You couldn't make this stuff up!)

• asking as we drove up to the airport, "Is SeaTac close to Egypt?"

• while listening to Hobbit, gasping for breath because he was laughing so hard because he found the dwarves surprise arrival on Bilbo's doorstep so amusing.

• making a potion of his hair, ice cubes, and water. (He told me it wasn't Polyjuice potion.)
