Hot Fun in the Summertime...

Yesterday, we filled up Will's little turtle pool we got him last year so he could play in the water. As you can see, he had a grand old time splashing, getting splashed, and throwing the beach ball around.


Will had on his water socks. He wasn't so sure of the water at first.


He and Daddy played catch with the ball.


Plop!


Daddy poured water on his head.


My goodness, he looks 7 in this picture.



Then we read the paper and saw the Target ad (insert angelic singing voices here). They have a 9 1/2' x 6' pool (inflatable), for $14.99! We ran out as soon as we were all up and clean this morning and got one. This pool, while not super huge, is plenty big for all of us to sit in and play. Will and Daddy had a great time with the water (which we were able to get about 8-10" deep). Will stayed in until he turned blue from the cold, then threw a fit when we made him get out.


Daddy splashes Will...


Will splashes Daddy...



Then they chill together in the new pool.

In other news, Will has begun to pee in the potty much more regularly. He will also announce it loudly and proudly, whether we're in public or not. Good thing I'm not easily embarrassed. We always high five him and give him a good little celebration when he tells one of us, "I PEE-PEED IN POTTY!" If strangers don't like it, screw them. Most have been very nice and smiled appreciatively when they hear our son's bathroom behavior.

Will would like to say something to his grandfather in Missouri...
