After those questions our conversation went like this...
Me: Anything else you want to tell me?
You: I do. (long pause....)
Me: (after waiting forever...) What do you want to tell me?
You: Um, Buzz Lightyear. Can Buzz Lightyear fly?
Me: Do you want to tell me that you love me?
You: Yeah. I love you.
I may have had to pull it out of you, but I know you love me. And you are a pretty dang funny kid to talk to.
One other thing I wanted to write about from this last month is the incident on the big slide at the pool. We had gone down together one day when Grandma H. was watching a sick Tess at home and you liked it a lot. The next time we went I had to explain to you that I couldn't take you down because I had to stay with Tess. Well you decided you were going to go by yourself. I was impressed since you have been pretty timid (but getting better) around the slides at the pool so I let you go. I told you to wait in line and went back down to wait at the bottom to catch you. Well you decided to cut in line so I started up the stairs to stop you. Well before me or the lifeguard could stop you, you made it to the front of the line and down the slide. I ran back down the stairs as fast as I could carrying Tess but by the time I got to the edge of the pool you were already in the water. Scary! You were flailing around and in and out of the water and just before I got there the lifeguard who had jumped down after you rescued you and handed you to me. You were scared, I was scared and embarrassed, and we went home to tell dad what happened. You haven't gone down since!

In the caves with daddy at Mammoth.
We did have a fun month even if I can't remember where it went. I bought a season pass for me for the pool since you and your brother are free and we have sure made good use of it. If I counted right we have gone 13 times since we got the pass. Like I keep telling everyone it gives us something to do and gets us out of the house for a while. You love the water and now I let you out of your baby float and let you crawl around in the water. The pool slopes in along one edge instead of just dropping off so you can crawl in and out of the water. It definitely isn't a relaxing time for me though because I usually end up having to save you over and over again from crawling into water so deep your arms and legs are floating instead of on the bottom of the pool. It does wipe you out though and I can pretty much bet on you taking at least a 2-hour nap when we get home. You've gotten a cute little tan out of it and when I get you out of the bath and you are crawling around naked you've got this cute little white swimming suit outline on your tan skin.
You just kept trying to get the last little bit out of the bowl and had me laughing pretty hard. You thought you were pretty funny yourself.
