Hello Summer!

Today is my first offical day of summer vacation!   I'm super stoked to be spending time with the kiddo!  Clint got to experience A LOT of firsts with Dade while I was teaching this school year.  Although I'm glad Clint got to experience them and not someone I was paying to watch Dade it's still rough on momma!

Dade dressed himself yesterday afternoon for the first time.  It was a rather comical 30 minutes or so while he tried to get his shorts on and pulled up, and then finally his shirt.  The shirt looked like a toga though.  He put one arm through the head hole with his head.  It was rather comical.

We bought him a Bilibo (his is green though)He seems to be enjoying it so far.   If you want to know more about what a Bilibo is check out this site.  Clint found it, explained what it helps with, and I was hooked.  Target age is 2-7 years but he got it anyway.  Dade loves to have one of us spin him in it.

We've been going to the pool, and the more we go, the better Dade is.  He's fine as long as he is inside his safe rubber turtle, outside he's still not so sure.  Could have something to do with the fact that I dunk him in the water whenever he's out of the turle to keep his whole body wet.  We've also discovered that he got my skin!!!  Which means he tans very nicely like his mother, and doesn't burn like his father!!!  However, Clint is actually tanning this year and not burning so that's a plus.

I know I haven't updated the web-gallery in a long time, and I have a good reason for that too.  My space is full.  I need to go through and delete pictures and condense.  Maybe I'll start that today.  We'll see.

Here's a list of Dade's current favorite things though:

Movie: Mary Poppins

TV Show: Fraggle Rock

Stuffed Animal: Dino

Fruit: Bananas

Music: All!

Activity: Going to the Park
