Seth and I had a great weekend.  On Saturday, we went to Oswego to hang out with Miss Shana and her family.  Seth had a great time playing with all of Nathan's toys.  Shana and I snuck away to do some, um, shopping for a certain wee-one in Uganda.  And then we all went swimming.  Greatness!  Seth was skeptical of the slide in the baby pool.  That is, until I pushed him down it, resulting in dozens more trips that included bouncing himself onto his noggin' at least twice.  Oh brother.  Boys....
Sunday we went to Miss Melanie's church and then off to Trader Joe's.  You may be wondering why I'm telling you about a grocery shopping trip.  Well, this was Seth's first time pushing one of the 2 foot shopping carts.  Let's just say, WATCH OUTTTT!!  It was hilarious.  I couldn't stop laughing and repeatedly checked to see if I had my camera.  For some reason, the other patrons were not so amused.  :)
Just for fun, here are a few things I get and a few I do not:
I don't understand.....
....being irritated at a 2 year old for shrieking with delight at the swimming pool. Ever heard of outside voices?  Last time I checked, we are outside!  (If I had a dollar for every glare I got Sunday....).
....how two year olds can jump off the side of the pool at least 100 times and never find it boring, much less tiring.
....why pool water tastes good.
....how devastating it is, after 2 hours at the pool, to be told "no, you cannot take Thomas out to the sidewalk.  You don't have clothes on."
....why someone would feel the need to declare my child "dangerous" in the water when I haven't taken my two eyes off of him for one second all day. (one eye?  yes, but not two.  :) ....why it's fun to play slip and slide on the pool entry ramp while crashing (hard!) onto your hip.  (This almost 40 year old takes a big ol' PASS on THAT one) ....why the three year old girl next to us felt the need to "tell" on Seth for getting "his" splash in her eyes, while making a gigantic splash of her own, all while her mother watched approvingly.  (Huh?) I totally get that.....
....the lifeguard would tell us that Seth is her new favorite kid.  It's easy to see why.  (HA!)
....life is so much richer with children.
....two kids is going to be a challenge, particularly if Seth is still a maniac in the pool.
....everything can be made into a train, but why?? ....Seth missed his nanny and ran back and forth between us, hugging Lola, hugging Mommy, hugging Lola . . . for the first five minutes of her day back from vacation. Hope your weekend was equally wacky and fun!  (Note to self:  in future, attach camera to all clothing)
