Now that we have a pool the kids want to be in it all the time. When they aren’t in the pool they want to know why they aren’t in the pool. And they cannot possibly understand why we don’t just live in the pool. In the morning Ajax still races to the window to check on the pool and declares to the family that it is still in fact sitting in our backyard. He was a bit concerned the first night that deer would get into it.
Ajax keeps telling us that he knows how to swim and likes to dive under water. He can’t actually do these things and we keep reminding him that he can’t swim. We are trying to work with him and I think by the end of summer he’ll be doggy paddling like a pro.
Noomi also likes the pool, but since she can’t touch the bottom she has to be held and that annoys her a bit. I think she still likes the water table better at this time.
In roundabout news, Ajax is doing great with his T ball. He has three more games and has had a ton of fun playing. This is also his last week at Kindercare and has a pre-K graduation this Friday. He starts summer camp next week, which is through the Williamston school system. I always wanted to go to summer camp and was always jealous of my friends who attended Camp Dearborn, so I’m excited to send Ajax to camp. He’ll get to take field trips to the zoo, ride the Amtrack train to Battle Creek, go to the splash pad at Hawk Island, and a bunch of other fun things.
Noomi’s favorite words right now are – NO. Mine. No. She’s also got quite the funny temper. While eating dinner the other night she angrily tried to throw her napkin to the ground. Well, the darn thing, being paper simply lightly floated to the ground, which was not the desired effect Noomi was going for. So in response, she picked up her bowl and threw it across the table. She then appeared more satisfied with herself. She always watches and copies Ajax constantly. Whatever he does, she does. Kids.
