Water And Fire

Yesterday afternoon, when the temperature hit 90, I made an announcement to my little family of three: "We're going swimming!" We all put our bathing suits on, I stuffed the pool bag with the usual necessities, and we headed out the door.

I thought that this summer, all the little nugget would need were arm floaties. I think they're perfect! He is so comfortable in the water, and I knew he would be. He puts his head under the water in the bath tub, so I figured the swimming pool wouldn't be any different. In fact, he took the liberty of jumping into the pool when neither of us were in the pool. Needless to say, the hubbs jumped in 1 second later. But, the toddler had his floaties on, and he came up with an enormous smile on his face! :)

The torpedoes, which were immediately renamed "rockets," and the "doodles" (noodles) were his obsessions.





 






Then today, in honor of Cinco de Mayo (and the fact that the hubbs is on call this afternoon), we decided to go grab lunch at Cozymel's. Yum!





After lunch, we swung into the Best Buy parking lot, where Fire Engine 21 was just waiting for my son to get in the driver's seat.



Yep. He was in Heaven.



And the captain let him put on his helmet!





But then, some other little boys walked up with their mom. And I knew. I knew it was going to get ugly. In case you don't have a toddler, the words "taking turns" and "sharing" don't generally go over very well.

 


Yeah, it's nap time over here. Happy Cinco de Mayo! :)
