Having a Great Day
I am having a great day today so I thought I would update with good stuff instead of complaining like normal.
I took Ethan over to my Sister in laws today to swim and have a cookout. I am so proud of him. He loves the water. I am so glad...because I am so afraid. I didn't want him to be like me. In fact, despite my fear I have been in the water a lot since he has been born. I didn't want him to see my fear. Which in turn has helped me also. I can actually be in the deep with out panicking.
He started putting is head under the water. He doesn't hold his nose or anything. Sometimes I felt like he was under long enough, but he stayed down. Then he would jump up take a breath and go back down. (so not like me) He borrowed someone's goggles to find pennies on the bottom. I need to get him his own. That was the best. Then later it was time to swim in the deep end, I put is float-suit on and off he went. Not a bit afraid. Amazing.
I took him to the Fenwick Festival yesterday. He he won prizes, rode rides and had a great time. But of course like every four year old, I asked did you have fun...he replied yes, but I wanted to win the squirt gun. This kid has 50 squirt-guns, no lie. We just keep getting them. I told him, I was sorry he didn't win but that is how it is sometimes. I know they have to learn, but I hate when their little heart is "broken".
He got the Playstation 2 Cat in the Hat game on Friday, he loves it. He is so good at that kind of stuff. He sometimes asks me for help. Of course, I am not good at video games, but I play anyway. He ends up teaching me how and in the process is able to do what he needed my help for.
I could talk about him all day. He just amazes me. I am so proud of him.
