Fun Night!

Diesel is in school every night this week, which means Little Man & I are on our own. Tonight we had a really great time. Since it was 4 million degrees out today, I decided that a trip to the pool was in order. Unfortunately, when Diesel has school, I have to pick Little Man up after work and we don't get home until 6:00 or later. Little Man's bedtime is 7:30, so that doesn't leave us a ton of time. Since we had a time crunch, a proper dinner went right out the window & I fixed us some PB&J sandwiches and carrots for dinner. We were done and at the pool by 6:30.

Little Man had a BLAST!!! I am now singing the praises of water wings!! I had been raised to be anti-water wings, but they are an awesome invention and it gives Little Man more independence in the water.  He's really trying to swim with them too, so that is good.

Tonight he was jumping off the edge to me, but kept saying "back up Mama, back up!" because he actually likes going under the water when he jumps in! I think he must have jumped in the pool close to a hundred times!

By 7:00 Little Man was shivering so we headed in an he took a nice warm bath. Of course, he wanted his color drops in the tub and he chose two yellow tablets, so he took a bath in what looked like pee water! It was pretty funny!

Me, pee in the water? NEVER?

The rest of our evening was nice & quiet. We read books on the couch-- Little Man picked How I Became a Pirate and I chose In the Night Kitchen and then it was off to bed!

I love evenings like this!
