Wordless Wednesday: Practicing for his teen years.

Evening Pool Time

Oh, how different Ethan is when it comes to the pool than CK was at this age. CK was content to spend all his time playing cars, just sitting on the top 2 steps. He'd go in the water every once in awhile, but mostly stayed to the side. NOT Ethan. He wants to continuously jump to you (but don't you dare let him go). You can't help but smile. :)

He made this face before every jump:

Countdown:

Launch!

Splash:

Come on, C-fer! JUMP!

C-fer, why are you taking so long?

Sorry Ethan, I'm still fixing my goggles...

WHOOPS!

Well, that didn't go well.

(Child crying? Let's take a picture first! LOL)

But, a fall into the pool won't stop me! Ready C-fer?

1-2-3! I'm watching you...

Crazy jumps (CK's new favorite activity, then asks if I tweeted the picture. LOL)

Whee!

Evening pool time. It's my summer. :)

 

Wordless Wednesday: Oh, we meet again, Thomas.

Wordless Wednesday: Chillin' on the Couch

Take CK to Work Day!

We surprised CK by bringing him to work with us today. He almost started crying when Giang turned to drop Ethan off at the sitter when CK knew that he should be going to school. (I know, we're mean. LOL) He was really excited and had a great time. He went to Giang's office, then they picked me up for lunch (Panda Express, CK's choice), then he came to my office, then went to Giang's again, then home.

He made himself at home in Giang's office:

Moved into 3 different areas. What a nomad. LOL He was doing homework sheets in the 'Focus' room:

Loved that he moved all his signs to the next cubicle:

Helped at my office:

Came home with goodies:

And he was quite proud of the certificate he recieved for participating in "Take your child to work day" and INSISTED on hanging it up in HIS cubicle:

and we asked him to write about today to take into his teacher. I loved that he put in there the folders I had him empty were dusty (he didn't finish that project. LOL) And did you know you will get fired if you don't do your work? LOL (click on it to make it larger and a bit more readable. I need to edit that later)

I'm glad he had such a great day. :)
