Morning run

This morning when I was running by this old guy he pointed to where I was coming from and said, "Someone called and they want you to start over!" You could tell he thought he was pretty funny and says it to every runner that looks exhausted. (as I most definitely did) Still, I laughed and it made me stop thinking of the misery of running for a little bit.
Later I ran by this guy & girl outside some very nice apartments getting ready to start a run together. I swear that guy had just put on cologne. He must have been a little too worried about how he was going to smell once he started sweating. Face it guy, that is NOT going to help.

1 year old!

Our baby is one today! Several pictures can be seen here.

Swimming Lessons

Calvin gets so excited to get into the pool. While we wait on the side for our turn he likes to clap for the other kids. I like that he is learning things, but one of the things they have us do in class is gradually dip more and more of their face under the water and now Calvin likes to dip his own face in the water as well. And then drink the water.
And by the way, I have decided the best thing about two piece swimsuits is going to the bathroom. Boys wouldn't understand.

Politely screaming

Calvin has been learning a little bit of sign language lately. Some of the words he seems to get the concept, other ones it's more mimicking. For example, when he screams (which he has discovered a new volume level of this past week, I'm sure the neighbors are enjoying that) we'll put our finger over our mouth and say "sshhh". Instead of realizing that putting our finger over our mouths means he needs to be quieter, he thinks it means, I am upset and I am screaming. So now when Calvin screams he screams with his finger over his mouth. Not catching the concept. (Sorry, I would post a picture, but the camera is MIA)

New List

Calvin has put a countless number of things in his mouth now, there is no end to that list. However, it seems there is a new list that is forming. It's called "What Calvin has put in the toilet" We try to keep the bathroom door closed at all times, but occasionally it is left ajar and Calvin seems to know the exact moment when we are not paying attention to him that he can sneak in there. So far the list includes:

hands
hair brush (twice)
wooden spoon (attempt only)

Fanny packs: Rebuttal

Here is my sister's response to the previous fanny pack post.

p.s. I think she voted on the poll twice
