i love
-harvesting everything that grows in our garden
-swimming in the pool and teaching grant to swim
-the smell of sunscreen
-how green everything is
-feeling like you need a shower by the end of the day because you've been outside and sweaty (yet having a good time)
-the beach
-water gun fights with grant
-the sun coming through our windows
-looking forward to family vacations/reunions
-popsicles
-warm weather clothes (no socks!)
-school being out
summer makes me happy.
our pool has been open 3 weekends so far. and grant has gone from sitting on the first step, to floating around in his raft, to wearing a life jacket and leaping into the pool. i have a feeling i'll be able to teach him to swim this summer. he loves the pool.
i'm trying out a new life vest for kids -have you heard of it? it's called a puddle jumper. i ordered one based off of reviews and an article in a parenting magazine. i'm excited for grant to have full mobility in the pool yet not drown. he hates not being able to get around and also having life jackets either tip you forward or backward. i can't wait to try it.
