Day 2

Dax woke up last night. The little stinker is just hungry because he won't eat anything during the day! No worries; he went right back to sleep at 3:45.

Dez asked again where you were today. First thing he asked when he woke up. I'm thinking he'll have figured it all out by next week.

Speaking of Dez and you and Todd being on this trip, he had a conversation (kinda with himself). It went a little something like this...

(He was asking about Todd and Michelle.)
Me: Did you know that Todd went with Daddy camping? And he will be gone a long time too?
Dez: Yeah and Michelle will say "Oooooooohhh I just miss youuuuuu" and Todd will call Michelle and Todd will say "Hello?" and Michelle will say "Todd I want you to come hooooooome!" and he will call Michelle and she will say that.

He even did a high pitched voice for Michelle.

Well anyway, today we went to my mom's to go swimming. I got Dez some kiddie sized goggles to wear and hopefully use underwater. At first he was absolutely positive he wouldn't use them due to his new fear of NOT swimming in any way. But by the end of the day (and he stayed out there the whoooooole time we were there) he was swimming all over the place on his own and even swam with his head underwater a few times.

Dax was pretty funny in the water. He switched from being perfectly content watching other people play catch in the pool and sitting calmly on the steps to wiggling around viscously to try and swim just like Desmond. I mean if I wasn't holding him tightly he would have dove right into the water several times. I was actually not quick enough a few times and he ended up drinking/choking on water. He really liked to watch Dez swim and splash around.

Mushu was pretty goofy today too. She acts like she's being slowly tortured any time I leave her inside by herself for more than 10 minutes. Also, she ate something from each of our boys hands today. Just went right up and took it, thank you very much.

Another thing that happened today that you will be sad to hear about...Dax stood up by himself in the middle of the room. I just couldn't believe it! He almost took a step too! I hate to say it, but it looks like he'll be walking by the time you get home.

That about wraps it up!

Love, KK
