Just a short note, Spencer went swimming in a big community pool today and he loved it! I told him that we were going around 9:00 am ( big mistake, I just wanted to run it by him, which sounds asine, but he can be a bit finky, even if it's something fun ) and he preceded to say "okay let's go to the swimming pool, okay let's go to the swimming pool okay let's GO TO THE SWIMMING POOL!" all day until we finally went at 2:00 pm ( it was a long day).

Anywho, he had a great time, wanting me to throw him in the deep end ( or the big boy pool) for a mjjority of the time. When we went the first thing he did was dog paddle, telling me "I'm dog paddlin mama, I'm dog paddlin!" I can swear I have never said this term to him, but maybe I have. Or maybe he's brilliant. Yeah, that's probably it. He also went down a little slide quite a bit,wanted to stick his head underwater, and in general fell in love with the whole idea of spending summer days by the pool. It's the mama in him. ..I knew he'd be a little fish! Swim lessons are probably a good idea, as he is defintely eager to learn.

All right, that's about all, I'll post some pictures of our "Day out with Thomas"- that's right, a day spent riding a real train that looks like Thomas the Tank Engine! Wow!
