A Cart Full of Cute

Wish I had these pics when I made our Xmas card!

More car talk

Oli: my voice is different.
Me: what do you mean your voice is different?
Oli: it's different because I am talking.

Fart

Scenario:  Changing Ivy's diaper/clothes...smelled something stinky.

Me:  Did you toot, Oli?

Oli:  huh?  (playing with Cars.  Who has time to talk, right?)

Me:  Did you fart?

Oli:  I don't fart anymore.

Me:  *laughs*  (he is pretty funny...where does he come up with this stuff?)

Oli stats

At the six Oliver weighed in at 34.3 pounds and he is 3 feet 2 inches tall.

Swimming

Today was Oliver's last day of swimming lessons:  Swim Tot Level I.  He will be moving on to Level 2 in January!  I've already got him all signed up!  Usually, on Swim Lesson Sundays, we arrive and Oli starts his class at 4pm.  When they start lessons, they also close the pool/hot tub from 4pm - 8pm.  So, he has never been able to try out the hot tub - and he always wants to!  So.

Today, we arrived about a half hour early.  We sat in the hot tub and we swam around the lazy river.  It was really good Mom and Oliver time.  I love that kid's smile.  I love to watch him swim and have fun in the water.  He is so comfortable in the water.

After swimming, we celebrated with a really big smoothie that we shared.  It was really nice time spent together.

Love him.

Herky Hat

Scenario: drop off at Apple Tree this morning, putting Oliver's Herky hat on.
Oli: Noooo! That hat is in my face!
Me: Do you want this orange hat? (also fun)
Oli: Yes.
Me: Should Mama wear the Herky hat?
Oli: Yes. Not at my school. At your work.
Me: Ok. Is it embarrassing if Mama wears it at your school?
Oli: uh-huh. (yes)
Me: Oh. Do you know what "embarrassing" means?
Oli: No.

Hey Ivy

Did you know that Oliver calls you "his baby"?
