Our two "Babies"

Pool season has arrived! I asked the boys if they wanted to go swimming the other day, and they were thrilled! Unfortunately, I asked them BEFORE I blew up the pool, so I only blew the pool up half-way so they didn't have to wait (scream) anymore. :-)



When I put Austin's swim diaper on, Aidan started crying that he wanted one too. By this time, it was reaching the time of the day where I give in to most everything just to keep myself sane, so into the swim diaper he went. They had a GREAT time splashing around, and it was amazing how Aidan, a child that HATES getting his hair washed, was pouring buckets of water on his head. It's just too bad I didn't have a bottle of shampoo out there! While swimming, Aidan had to go to the potty, so he got to go in his favorite spot (the yard) and insisted upon putting the soaking, soggy swim diaper back on!

Austin has made amazing progress this month with his talking. He now tries to repeat everything we say. Yesterday, he said "Maddux" very clearly. I was happy that he wasn't yelling it and banging on the glass like Aidan was when he first said it. :-) So far, so good on him not swearing.

We were talking to Aidan the other day about when I was pregnant with him, and he told us that he was, "Knocking to get out so he could cry and scream." He said, "Then your belly broke open, and I came out." Hahahahaha... He is in for one horrifying discovery, huh?

Seriously?? How does he come up with these things?! It seems so advanced for a 4-year old to say he was knocking to come out crying and screaming...too funny!!
