I had an illuminating chat with the little stinkpot's daycare teachers today. Apparently there is a fungus in one corner of the playground that the kids were trying to eat-- and it kind of looks like poop. So THAT's why the little guy told us that we shouldn't eat poop.

Anyway, this handsome little dude rocked at swimming lessons tonight and put his face underwater like a champ. I didn't even get my ankles wet because I'm still traumatized from how cold it was last night. Lessons end tomorrow... It'll be nice to have our evenings back, but I think we'll all miss it, too.

Up to No Good

This is the face of a string-cheese loving child who hid his daddy's car keys in a rarely worn shoe at the back of the closet:

Don't let him out of your sight!

Pearls of Wisdom

The little booger has been entertaining us lately with little nuggets of wisdom he's picked up somewhere. Everything he says is true... but I'm a bit concerned as to why it needed to be said. Tonight he told us very seriously "Do NOT poke yourself in the eye. You'll get a boo-boo." A couple of weeks ago he said "Don't eat your poop. That's yucky." Also true, but really? Who had to be told that?

Awaiting his next piece of wisdom.

Pedis for Everyone!

I painted my toenails this morning before church-- my old polish was pretty chipped and I wanted to wear sandals. Well, it's monkey see, monkey do at our house. Ta-daa!

 Eric is thrilled.

In other news, the little boog can turn on the hose now! This means letting the little guy play in our new sprinkler is fairly hands off for Eric and me.

More Swimming!

Sorry for the lack of posting this week... we've been swimming. We took advantage of our free-pool-entry-while-in-swimming-lessons today and (surprise!) went to the pool. The little booger *finally* jumped in the water!

He really enjoyed the 2' section-- he could easily reach the bottom and climb out all by himself.

Swimming Lessons!

Tonight was the little guy's third night of swimming lessons. They learned how to lay on their stomachs (and their backs) and kick.

 They also got to go down the water slide!

He might jump off the diving board (with a life jacket on, of course) tomorrow. I don't know if he'll go for it, but you never know!

Faces?

The little booger is starting to make some crazy faces at us. I got pictures of two of them Saturday morning. Here's his "Mo-om, you're SO weird" face:

And here's his scrunchy face:

What a handsome guy!
