Pool Party!

 

Today was our weekly Play Date! It is always fun to hang out with the kids, but today was extra special. The Cropsey's, who have two little ones, have an inflatable baby pool on their porch. It is not uncommon for me to walk by and see little Elise with her swimsuit on, shouting "I simming!"

Today she gladly hosted a "simming pary" at her house! She greeted me at the door with one of Micah's swimsuits for Liam. (It was December when we packed, so I somehow was not even thinking of swimsuits!) Liam hesitantly climbed in the pool, not sure what this was, or what he was supposed to do. He grabbed a little airplane and started making motorboat sounds with his lips. I guess playing in the pool came naturally! Soon Maggie McLaughlin, who is almost 1, woke up from her nap and joined the party! She is shown in the picture above with Liam. Elise is not pictured, except for her little legs at the top of the picture.

Everyone had so much fun! The weather has been beautiful here lately, so it was a perfect morning for a swim. It's been fun watching all the kiddos grow together. Micah and Maggie are both cutting their first tooth. Liam has three teeth now, but no signs of a fourth yet. He has moved on from walking and now prefers to run everywhere! This unfortunately means he is falling on his face quite a bit. Currently he has several scrapes and bruises on his forehead and nose. Oh well, it makes him look like a tough guy I guess! I am getting used to him hurting himself, but of course it is never going to be easy! Luckily no one got hurt in the pool today - just pure fun!
