Bye-Bye Diapers, Hello Fun!

So here's our recap from the past few weeks...June 19th, Cameron attended a preschool buddy's 6th birthday party at the Community Center. Little brother, Kyle, tagged along to check out the new indoor play center. While Cameron loved the new play center, Kyle got kicked in the face on his first trip through and refused to try it anymore. He spent the rest of the two hours on mommy's lap. Oh well, he is a mommy's boy and mommy enjoyed the extra cuddles.

We had a low key father's day for daddy. We grilled and played tennis. Perfect day by daddy's standards.

On Monday, June 22nd, Mommy attempted to take us boys to Snail Lake since it was so hot. Well, it was a bust. There was about 5 feet of water that went up to Cameron's knees. The water is so low this year but we did have a nice snack at the lake.

Cameron attended a two week swim class. He did wonderful this year and made such progress from last year. He is now putting his face in the water and doing deep water bobs but he did not pass this year. He needs to get stronger in his strokes and work on his breathing. Maybe next year. Kyle was such a trooper sitting there during lessons. The lollipops and books helped.

We have been enjoying the weekly puppet wagon shows put on by the city. Going to the library and farmer's market weekly. And have been meeting up with Cam's preschool buddies for park play dates each week. We have also had a few play dates with the neighborhood kids.

Daddy was gone the first week of July to help Uncle John move from NM to NC. He had a wonderful time on his road trip but we missed him lots. Mommy took us to Como Park for amusement park rides as something special while he was gone. The photo is from our day there...yes it was freezing that day. We loved all the rides.

Daddy came home on the 4th of July. We had a great BBQ that evening and played some yard games. The next day our neighbor, Tony, had us over to watch his display of backyard fireworks. We got to stay up late to enjoy the show. We loved it but were tired the next day.

Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al have been down here a lot lately but we haven't really seen them much. They are just sleeping here and eating a few meals but have been working on Uncle Dan's new house in Stillwater all day. Its been hard to know that they are around but that we can't play with them since they are working so hard.

Kyle is now officially a big boy. He is learning to use the potty. We started potty training on Friday, July 10th and he is doing great. We hope this progress continues so we can say bye-bye diapers, hello fun!
