Swimming is sooo good, Bedtime is sooo BAD!

So we introduced the concept of the swimming pool yesterday and it was a huge hit! He loves to play in the water, get his face wet, his sister wet, and to Bailey's delight even enjoyed playing little mermaid. He is fearless in the water (just like everywhere else) and really has enjoyed the new waterslide that was gifted by Matt and Erin (the proof is in the smile)! Bailey and Teferi have played outside in the water most of the last two afternoon - which has been relaxing for mom and dad. We just sit on the sidelines and throw up penalty flags every once in a while. No spitting in the pool, no peeing in the pool, and no shoving your sister off the water slide into the pool.

We all went strawberry picking this morning with Erin, Ben and Eli. Teferi did pretty well and once he figured out that he was supposed to pick the RED strawberries - actually did a nice job picking. His attention was short-lived but commendable. Bailey was very excited to show her new brother off and Ben was delighted that we "picked" Teferi to be our son! Ben - you ROCK!

Bed time has progressively gotten worse over the last week. Initially, we told him to go to bed and boom he was asleep. It was like magic. Now, he has a complete meltdown at naptime and/or bed time and crieds for 20 minutes to over an hour. He gets very scared if we are not there when/if he wakes up. Hopefully this phase will pass quickly.

He is an olympic champion eater - seriously can hold his own in that department. He is not very fond of vegetable or fruit but LOVES meat. . . a lot like Scott:)

Happy pre-4th of July!
