Swimmie McSwimmer

Over the valentines day Auntie Liesel came to town with her beagles. We had so much fun and Ed Sr. even took care of Jr. on Saturday night so that Liesel and I could have a special night out on the town. How did we spend our v-day date? At a fundraiser for the Lewis and Clark Humane Society. The spay-ghetti dinner and auction was a hilarious treat! Liesel lost out on an amazing ring to some H-town vest wearing short haircut sporting man lady. Boy was Liesel hot. I thought she was going to rough someone up or at least kick a tree or car. The ring was beautiful and the bullish woman hadn't bid on it ALL night only to come out in the last seconds to edge Liesel out. THE INJUSTICE! Other than the devastating loss, we had a great time and daddy and baby managed without us.

Then, on Sunday it was off to Fairmont to hang with the Moogs. It was the first time swimming for Jr. and Adrienne. Adrienne took to the water like, well, a fish to water. Jr. was not so charmed at first. He cried and cried and wouldn't make eye contact with Ed and I. He was MAD MAD MAD. So we let him chill out on the side of the pool until he was ready to come on in. Then he had a blast.

Wonder of all wonders, the two little lumpkins behaved like little angles at dinner that night. Note to self, poop them out, then take them to eat. Seriously, Jr. was quiet, played with spoons and ate potatoes, bread and grapes like such a big boy. Adrienne sacked out in her momma's arms. Then the next morning at breakfast, the same thing. The two of them both receive the BABY MVP awards for how great they were!

The second day in the pool, Jr. was a champ. He loved swimming with his daddy and let his mom get away to sit in the hot hot hot adult pool for a few minutes. Ahhhh.

It was funny because I said to Kim, gee, I bet these two get ear infections after this weekend. Well, neither of them got ear infections, but Jr. did get a little cold. Not too bad, but he does sound like a pug when he breathes out of his nose. Adrienne is fine, other than keeping her momma up all night to eat. . .

We were so excited by Jr.'s excitement of the pool, I rushed back to make reservations to get him into Aquatots at the YWCA. Keep that swimming momentum going.
