Activites:
- Swimming at the town pool. He loves the zero-entry and walks right up to his chin! He even went under the water, accidentally, and didn't freak out.
- Playing outside, but when it's as warm as it's been, he's likely to say "Too hot, go inside" after a few minutes
- Playing with his little tractor and wagon he got for Christmas 2 years ago from Great-Grandma Boote. He loads up the wagon with various toys (usually a truck, a few animals, a microphone, and if the balance works right, a ball-popper toy) and then pushes the smoke stack to watch it go. This can occupy him for up to 20 minutes.
- We hooked up the sprinkler in the backyard and Ryan sticks his head right in the stream and then runs away laughing.
- Ice cream! which is usually followed by calls for "moh ice keem pees" (still no r's)
- Going to the Splash Pad in a nearby town with both Adam's parents and several times with Abbie & Wade. When grandpa sprayed him, he said "Grandpa time-out!" He's also fond of giving Nika time-outs outside, usually for trying to take food off his tray.
- Riding in the bike buggy. We bought it from one of our new neighbors and he proudly puts on his helmet and crawls in. We hope to do more biking once it cools down.
- Naming everyone or everyone's things. Like "Daddy sweet cone (corn), Mommy sweet cone, Yi-yun (Ryan) sweet cone, Nika no sweet cone"
- Announcing (usually falsely) that he has a "dirty diapuh"
- Helping cook or bake (brownies, mashed potatoes, popcorn, etc.)
- Driving the tractor with Grandpa (and run down the driveway after him when the tractor leaves)
Summer has been so much fun and we're having a blast watching him grow up (so fast!) He's a great little guy whose smile can make my day!
