Peekaboo

After his bath Olan is become obsessed with playing "popor, popor!!!" (translation "popcorn, popcorn") which is this silly song where he sits on your lap and you bounce and shake him around. He also needs a good nightly round of peekaboo. Tonight he and "Mur" (translation Aunty Mer) and I were all piled on the bed while he went through his routine. The towel went on his head and Meredith and I started calling out "Olaaaaaan, where aaaaaare you?" he just quietly sat there under his towel. We kept calling and calling and then a voice from under the towel said "bye-bye".

Sunny Sunday

It finally felt like spring was on its way today... phew!

The day started out a bit shady so Olan and I spent the morning at the pool- a little pre-Florida swim training :) Olan is a happy little boy in the water, I love to see him, sticking his face in the water, trying to get the hang of this swimming thing.

After his loooooong nap we did some grocery shopping and then took Sydney for a walk and went to the park. The sun was out in all its gloriousness so we dragged Aunty Mer (or Mur as Olan calls her) along so that her pasty end of semester skin could get a little sun. It felt so nice, the stink of spring was everywhere.

p.s This weekend marks Olan's first swear word. And I had nothing to do with it. It's amazing how a little mouth that has trouble forming the shapes and sounds of allllll the other words has no problem pronouncing with absolute clarity "shit!".
