Dada, We're Gonna Have Company!

Lately it seems as if there's always somebody new sleeping in my living room; sometimes there's more than one person. For the record, since early October Nana Mary was here, then Nana Joan, followed by Auntie Joan and baby Connor, Uncle Randall and Aunt Christine, and now Tutu Kathleen and Uncle David. It's a constant stream of people and they are ALL HERE TO SEE ME! Well, maybe they're also here to see my new baby sister but hey, a boy can dream! Tutu Kathleen and David arrived and boom we were off to see the neighborhood. One of our first stops was the bookstore so I could show Tutu one of my hot spots for book reading.


Saturday rolled around and despite having visitors I still stuck to my regularly scheduled activities. That included swimming class, however, this time I switched things up and had Uncle David take me into the pool. Let's be honest here - even with dada I'm a little fussy when it comes to swimming class. So, I wasn't promising Uncle David an easy half hour. It took me a while but I eventually came around and we had a good time.


After a long day of activities, there's nothing I like more than some couch time. Uncle David felt the same way so we curled up next to each other to catch a couple Pingu videos.


Oh! Let's not forget one of my favorite activities - tumbling! Tutu came with for my tumbling class. Rolling around and around in LANDEN'S WORLD!

Splashy, Splashy

Today was my very first day of swim school. They call it school but I really don't know what I learned other than you have to wait a really long time before you can actually get in the pool. Perhaps mama and dada can hold off on getting to the pool so early next time? The class started with some clapping and this lady walking around asking everyone's name. Then once we all said our names it was FINALLY time to get in the pool. Dada let me sit on the edge while he got in, then he turned to me and it was my turn. I was all for getting in the pool but there was this bucket of balls off to the side and I mean c'mon, let's have the best of both worlds here and put the balls into the pool! Dada finally caught on and grabbed me a ball and I was able to handle the rest. We did bubbles, we bounced up and down, we kicked, dada did something weird with his arms (reach and pull, reach and pull?), and we stood on the edge a couple times and jumped in. No, I didn't jump in by myself. Dada caught me. Oh! And there was this one point where dada tried to get me to lay flat on my back. Yeah, not a big fan. Let's try to remember that for next time.


After swimming we took a stroll over to the park. First the pool, then the park. This was shaping up to be a super day! I did my usual stuff at the park - went down the slides, climbed up the stairs, played with toys that weren't mine, tried to get on someone else's scooter. You know how it goes. Now this park that we went to, there's this swing with a huge green wheel that you sit on. It sits off the side and I've always seen it out of the corner of my eye but never bothered to check it out. Well today was the day I thought I'd see what it was all about. Kinda fun, nothing too crazy, had about enough when dada tried to get me to sit on it with him.


Towards the end of the day I got to relax a bit on the couch with mama. Oh and not just relax watching the TV, but I was eating pretzels too! Pretzels! If only I had some hummus. Dada said something about lunch tomorrow with soda. I love soda. Looking forward to soda on Sunday in LANDEN'S WORLD.


p.s. go cubs! (dada made me say it)
