This last weekend I finally decided to take the cover off the pool for summer. I wanted to let the pool get a little warmer first so we can do night swims but it's too hard to clean the pool with it on and I was getting some algae. I had two choices. Take it off, clean it and put it back, or just take it off and put it in the garage. I decided to put it in the garage.
So Saturday after doing my yard work Natalie wanted to hang out with Stephanie so I took Adri and Zoe for a swim. Adri had been a terror all morning. She was clingy and crying and even when it came to putting on the sun block she wasn't a happy baby. Normally she loves lotion but not Saturday. I put her in the pool and for 15 minutes she was having a fun time splashing Zoe, pushing my head under water and laughing, screaming her lungs out, telling me to skip and throw her, etc... Then all of a sudden her head went down on my shoulder and she because the sleepy clingy bug.
I had a hard time convincing Natalie to come in the pool but eventually she decided to join us. She thought she could slowly get in. Amateur. Do things the California way. Jump in, feel the shock, get over it. It's like a band aid. Just rip the stikin thing off! So I finally made her jump in and she finally learned, after 5 years, that I'm right. It's not so bad if you jump it. Once the shock is gone it felt great. The water was 83 degrees, far from cold. So once Natalie got in I decided to record Adri being the clingy bug. Video below.
Saturday night we took Adri for Pizza and Cold Stone. I'm getting ready to drop another 15 pounds so I thought I would have a super fun binger night first. I have this kid trained. Her favorite ice cream just happens to be mine, cake batter with butterfinger. I was sitting there feeding her and Natalie would offer her the banana ice cream and she would say "no, cake batter butterfinger". Smart girl.
Sunday morning we were outside and Adri discovered a millepede. Yeah, time to spray around the house again. I got some video of her. She's always funnier before we start recording her though. Sunday afternoon after waking up from a late nap I took Adri swimming again. This time with Zoe and Amanda. It's always more fun with the other kids over because Adri laughs at them so much. I guess it's because they're so goofy.
Sunday night we were at the dinner table and Adri threw her food on the table and then started singing very clearly "clean up, cleanup, everybody do your share". She's only 21 months! If I could only tape her saying some of the things she says. The way she puts sentences together at her age is amazing. We tried to get her to do it again but it just wasn't the same. The video is still funny though. Her two favorite songs are Happy Birthday and Jingle Bells. In the video she starts singing to us and then goes to a whisper and eventually she's just mouthing the words. She's such a crazy kid.
Last night she pulled another funny one at dinner. Ten minutes into dinner she folders her arms and yells prayer. Then she says "thank for the day, bless the food, in the name Jesus Christ, AMEN!" She is just so random sometimes. After that she suddenly got tired. I busted out a slice of mango pie for her and couldn't get her to eat it. She had climbed up on Natalie and kept turning her head to the spoon even when I told her it's ice cream. Finally I put some on my finger and got her to try it but even after that she wouldn't take it on the spoon. So she climbs off Natalie and starts pointing at the plate and says mango pie. I grab the food and she says "no, mango pie finger". For some reason the kid would only eat the pie off my finger. Weirdo.
And here she is showing how crazy she is. Look at her go.
