Babbling

Well- we don't have a whole lot to report this week but that has never stopped mom from finding a lot to babble about.  I'm sure this post will end up being longer than usual.
Let's see- swim lessons on Tuesday.  It was "Show and Tell" night which mean parents are allowed back in the last 5 minutes of class and the instructors update on our progress.  I seem to have regressed but that may have something to do with my inability to focus and mom and dad's inability to get me to the pool to practice.  So with that in mind, mom took me to the pool at our rec center here to practice a little.  Now, for those of you that don't know, mom is an expert swimmer.  She was on the swim team when she was 6 and then again when she was 14.  She took all of that expert knowledge and attempted to give me some pointers.  ( Insert my eyeroll here).  Fortunately for us, there was a life guard on duty at the pool who is a master's level swimmer and swim coach.  She offered us a few pointers for free (not that mom needed any) which led to mom signing me up for some private lessons with her once a week. It seems mom and dad are very set on me getting an athletic scholarship to Stanford.  We really did like Ms. Suzy and I am excited about getting some lessons from her, so we'll see how it goes!
The rest of the week passed pretty quietly- oh and we almost forgot- mom started yet another job.  She has been lucky enough through most of her career to have exceptional bosses and has never had to deal with truly bad management until now.  She finally had enough and with dad's blessing quit her old job.   So, now, she is doing part time home health with a different agency and part time outpatient ortho.  We will see if this keeps her happy for awhile.
On Saturday we headed down to the 37th annual RV and Boat show.  Now, don't judge us.  We love our little A-liner but it is getting a little small for the three of us so we wanted to see what else was out there.  We spent 4+ hours wandering around and found some pretty cool things (think granite counter tops, built in fireplaces) but since we don't have an extra 100 grand, we will stick with the pop up for now.  It was tons of fun anyway.
I somehow have developed a thing for lemons and desperately wanted to make lemonade, so on the way home from the RV show, we made a stop at Costco to buy a 5# bag of lemons and spent the evening juicing them and making lemonade.  It was pretty dang tasty!
Sunday was another gorgeous day.  Mom and I hit the pool again in the morning and we spent the afternoon tooling around the park on my scooter and playing in the front yard.
Oh my- I almost forgot another majorly important happening in our lives-  I lost yet another tooth!  It was my second top tooth and it had been hanging on like a thread for 3 weeks and mom was getting tired of watching it flop around when I talked.  It finally fell out Saturday morning- much to everyone's relief.  The Toothfairy came and life was good!

Have a great week!
