Swim team!

Alright.
Our day.

Well today Daniel had a seminar to
go to - that was scheduled till 3.
He left around 6 - but unfortunately
he woke Dmitri up.....
Luckily he settled down, and went
back to sleep [20 mins later] - as did I.

I use Dmitri as my alarm clock. He
works well - usually up by 7 - sometimes
8. Well he slept in till 9:30!
Yikes.
I would have too if Daniel hadn't
come strolling through the door at
9.
His seminar only lasted an hour!
Kind of annoying that they made him
drive all the way out there just for
an hour :\ But ohwell - I was happy
he was home early :)

Well anyways - so Dmitri and I had
a ward playdate to attend.
We were running behind due to our
sleeping in... and we decided to walk
there! Lol so double behind.
But we met up with Chelsea and Ava,
and walked to the pool date.

We had a great time! Dmitri loves
hanging with his friends - and he
LOVES to swim!
He's gotten a lot more cautious with
the water. He knows if he goes under
he can't breath. So he'd walk on the
steps in the pool - then squat to sit,
but before his head went in, you could
totally see him reevaluate the situation
and he'd stand back up. Adorable.

But of course he'd still love for me to
let him go - so he could swim off on
his own. Lol I think he'd be so happy!
If he knew how to swim :}

Oh so he was walking around on the
concrete at the pool - which isn't a
good combo.
So yes - he got tangled in his feet
and went face first into the ground.
It was instant tears. Poor guy :(
He cut his upper lip a little, and there
was a tiny bit of blood and swelling.
But otherwise he's good.
And he cuddled afterwards. Which
made my day :)

I forgot to bring my camera to the
pool! Boo.
So here's Dmitri helping himself
to some pretzels.
He'd take one out - taste it - then
put it back and take another one.
Or lick on - drop it on the floor and
go for another.
I wasn't quick enough to get the pic
of him trying to stick his whole face
in the container. Boo!
:)
Dmitri's not a sweets kid - he LOVES salt.

So after swimming we headed home.
I decided to take my new gardening
knowledge to Home Depot and get
some pots and seeds to start a little
garden.
OMGsh I love the smell of potting
soil. I could eat it - or swim in it.
If it was a candle scent - I'd buy 12.
MMmmmMMmmm.
So I bought potting soil - well compost.

I planted the little seedlings - and
now we wait for some sprouts!
Dmitri had a good time watching me
set them up. And then trying to dig up
the seeds I just planted.
And then try to turn the hose on... and
then stick is whole arm in the water
pot that catches the water that leaks
from the hose when it's on.
So he had a good time.My newest plant.Dmitri got this rash a week or two back
that will not [entirely] go away!
It'll fade a bit - then come back.
He cries when I put on Desitin - so I
bought Balmax [I remember my mom
would use it on my sister when she was
a baby] and he doesn't cry when I put
it on. And it seems to work really well.

I don't know what is causing the rash. Well -
he keeps getting diarrhea - so I'm sure
that's it - but I can't figure out what's
causing the diarrhea.
There's nothing he's eating consistently
that could cause it :[
Or maybe that's what's causing it -all
the different or new foods.
I don't know - poor guy.
So he got a bath in this soothing baby
oatmeal stuff - and it did make a big
difference. His bum was a lot less
red when he got out.

Mmmm.... yummy murky oatmeal bath...
Blah.
So our lovely day.
:)
