Dylan started swimming lessons and officially knows how to swim on his own. He still looks like he may sink at any moment with his head barely out of the water, although we have come a long way from the beginning of the summer when he didn't even want to go into the water. We owe it to our friends Kim and Danny who have invited us over every week to swim in their pool!
We try to go the beach 3-4 times a week. This is Adas favorite activity since there are TONS of rocks and she can pick them up or collect them or lick them depending on her mood. Rocks are still on her top five favorite things. Other things on her list: Papa (my dad), "ruffies" (puppies, stuffed or real), IIIKEEEEM (ice cream), and "pretty's" (any bracelet or necklace).
Dylan's favorite activity of the summer (which was his favorite activity as last summer) is waiting for the ice cream truck. He has been talking about the ice cream truck since January. About every morning he wakes up and asks me "is it warm out?" Yes, Dylan "Are we wearing shorts?" Yes Dylan "That means the ice cream truck can come!" Not until the afternoon, Dylan "When is it the afternoon?" After nap, Dylan. I can have this conversation in my sleep.
Dylan went to camp at his preschool four days this summer from 9-12:30. He did alot of arts and crafts (he made a sculpture out of spaghetti, a pet rock, a clay ice cream cone and a clay puppy for Ada). The highlight of camp was one day he rode his bike a mile and a half there and back! Rick ran with him there and I ran with him back. He still talks about it. He starts preschool in the fall Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-1. We are all looking forward to it!
