On Thursday, we went to Books and Blooms at the UT Gardens again with Sarah and Mary Grace. It didn't seem as crowded as last week but there were still a lot of people there. Carter and Mary Grace enjoyed running around the Gardens and coloring. Neither was that into the songs or stories.
Carter got to use markers for the first time to color his "B" worksheet. His clothes survived and only his hands got colored up. He's getting a little better and scribbling (I colored the "B" and Sarah colored the "o").
After the program, we went to the pool in our neighborhood. We ate lunch and then swam for an hour or so. Carter was a bit grumpy because he didn't have a morning nap, but we all survived. He's getting better and better at jumping into the pool. So far, no fear (which may not be good!). He needs to work on waiting for me to be in the pool before he jumps in. He never actually jumped before I was ready, but he tried.
On Friday, Sarah and I walked and then went to her house for lunch and a few hours of fun with the water table, baby pool, and other toys in the yard. We got to relax while the kids played (we still have to get up a lot to help with something, but it's so much easier than playing outside by myself with Carter).
Carter LOVES Mary Grace's slide. We may have to start looking for one for our house.
He also loved her bike. It's still too big for him but he kept trying to put his feet on the pedals to make it move. We have given up on finding him a bike that's small enough for him right now. Maybe in a few months we'll look again.
Playing with the flower sprinkler ...
Carter got to have his first ice pop. He probably only ate about a third of it because a lot fell on the ground and he couldn't figure out how to get the melted juice out at the end, but he had fun eating it!
