May 17, 2007

7:00 Drop off. Too early.

7:40 I took the boys to their last morning lesson. Yay! I got in the water with both of them and they did really well. The head honcho was there and even she said they looked good. I bought them wet suits and had to talk Alex out of the pink one that he wanted. He says it's red but it's not and I'm afraid he'll get teased. Well, I didn't actually talk him out of it, I just said that they didn't have any in his size.

8:30 Jeremy brought Ariel to the pool. He fed her mixed veggies and waffles and he changed her poopy diaper. I think Jeremy is really happy that swimming is over.

9:15 Ariel went down for a nap.

11:15 Ariel woke up and we did her 18 month pictures. She was much more cooperative today than she was 3 months ago.





There are more pictures on my flickr site.

Oh, and that purple thing she's holding is a magnifying glass. And since Becky liked the one picture that Ariel pulled her hanky off, I'll probably try reshooting on Monday.

12:30 Lunch - yogurt and mac & cheese.

2:30 We really needed to get out of the house and it looked lie it was going to rain, so we went the first place I could think of, Starbucks. The kids all got cookies but Ariel only licked hers. And I found a dollar bill, always exciting.

The library is closed on Thursday so we went over to Michael's to kill time. We looked at cake pans and Adam saw a Pablo one he likes so he's going to have a Backyardigan party. I'm excited as it will probably be the last party that is not Sponge Bob or superheros. And for the record, I left Michael's without buying anything. Mainly because there's no coupon this week.

4:00 We went to Alex's first swim class. He was very excited and did great. His only complaint was that the class wasn't long enough. Ariel was torn between splashing in puddles and wanting to jump into the pool. That is why Jeremy has been keeping her in the morning during lessons.

4:25 Becky picked up Ariel from the pool.

And I just have to write a few words about my almost-three-year-old. Sweet Adam is getting to be such a big boy. He insists on buckling his own seat belt, ("I do it!") and last night I heard him get up and go to the bathroom all by himself. He's being dry most nights, but usually he wakes up crying and I have to take him to the bathroom.
