Pool...Open

Tonight I got to go back to the pool and guess what? It was open!!! I still found it fun to keep saying 'pool broken' even though I was in the water.
My Water Babies swim class had four other little tikes all around my age. We practiced kicking, blowing bubbles, and reaching. We also learned to jump from the edge of the pool, into the water, and turn to grab the side of the pool. This by far was my favorite exercise. I did it about 10 times in a row. My daddy caught me every time and I would giggle. We also had little kick boards to motor around the pool on.
My least favorite part so far was getting put under the water. I did fine with it, but it just wasn't my favorite. The water wasn't as warm as we thought it would be, but we got used to it in no time. I was a real trooper and enjoyed my time in the water. We go again on Wednesday.

Pool...Broken

Tonight was suppose to be our first water babies swim class. It has taken us months to even get a spot in the class. My mommy had been telling me about it all day. We talked about things that go in the water, such as a duckie. We met my daddy and drove to the pool. We got out of the car and on the front door of the pool we met a big sign that said 'Pool closed for Repair 15-19'.
Oh, I was soooooooooo sad. We walked back to the car and as my daddy put me in my seat I started saying 'water, water' and then burst into big crocodile sized tears. I was so disappointed. My daddy told me the pool was broken. The whole rest of the night I kept saying 'pool...broken'! Both my parents felt really bad, but I guess there is always next week.

Terrible Two's...No more Mister Nice Baby

It is officially happening whether my parents like it or not. Most of you know that I was a pretty easy baby, and am normally an easy going toddler who aims to please and follows directions pretty well. I love to have fun and play with my puppies.
Lately, this terrible two's Jake pops out! This is my evil twin from a parallel terrible two's universe. This little guy doesn't listen. He likes to constantly break the rules, and causes me to have time out after time out. I have had to go to bed early two night in a row and tonight terrible two's Jake made me throw my cup of water onto the dining room table and feed the doggies from my plate. TT Jake just wanted to share. I know better than that, but he won't listen. TT Jake likes to test his boundaries and caused me to have a record breaking eight time outs today!!!! Sometimes I get to pop out and be my funny and goofy self, but it seems that TT Jake is never far behind. Thankfully, I have yet for TT Jake to convince me to fall to the floor kicking and screaming. I have seen kids doing this. I hear that TT Jake only visits till around the age of four. As you many of you know I have two equally stubborn parents so the 'four' of us should have a very interesting next couple of years.

Punkin Patch!

I love to say the word pumpkin but it comes out more like punkin, so today when I heard we would be going to a pumpkin patch I was so excited and kept saying punkin patch, punkin patch. My mommy and daddy took me in the late afternoon today to the pumpkin patch right down the street from us. It was fun, but very bright, and I was squinting in a lot of the pictures. I really wanted to go in the bounce houses, but unfortunately I'm still too small...boo! They had lots of stuff for kids just a little bit older than me. Including, a haunted house. I had a lot of fun looking at the pumpkins and all the other kids. I even got a balloon to carry around. At one point I was sitting on the pumpkins to see what one I really wanted. I had to get a good feel for each pumpkin. I was also trying to lift them, but they are much heavier than I thought they would be. I decided on two large pumpkins and three mini pumpkins. Each mini-pumpkin I was able to pick out and place in the wagon by myself. I tried to help my daddy pull our wagon, but got tired and decided I wanted to ride in it.

This is the beginning of a special time of year. My birthday and the holidays. Oh, have I mentioned that I'm going to be a monkey for Halloween? I know two other little guys who are going to be monkeys as well. If we find two more we could have our own Five Silly Monkey group!

Hammer in the Morning!

This morning I helped my daddy build a bookcase that will go into our extra bedroom closet. Mommy and daddy realized that one of the closets in our house is filled to the brim and must be organized, so we are putting in closet organizers to help make some additional room in them.

I got to help my daddy by using a hammer. It was exciting and I was very proud of myself for a job well done. I had surprisingly good aim. Building is in my blood and I'm following in my Papa's footsteps.

The Time has Come...

I just got a new bed at my grandma and grandpa's house. I was sleeping in a smaller crib than at home and finally, I became just to darn big for it. Solution: This nifty little bed.

As you can see I really like it. I think Elmo does as well. No plans for me to start sleeping in my big bed at home. I love my comfy crib!

Happy 88th Birthday!

Today was my great grandma Taylor's 88th birthday! The family got together and took her out to dinner. We had a really nice time! I was being my usual ham self. I was getting a little antsy when dinner didn't come out right away, but after some food and a nice walk with my daddy I was back in the game. I was blowing kisses to everyone and waving. Everyone was really amazed at my corn on the cob eating skills. My grandma gave me some chocolate milkshake and I really loved that! My auntie Holly was there and when we started packing up to leave I started saying 'bye, bye Holly' and didn't stop saying it till I fell asleep about halfway home. I must have been really excited!
