Mands: 10

Today Tony’s mand for car ride was fulfilled almost at once, as Marlaina had an errand to run and I already had the go-ahead. Tony was happy about this and remained talkative throughout the ride. We sang “‘C’ is for Cookie” in the line at thed bank.

After the car ride we went for a very short walk. We colored with chalk on the sidewalk and then walked partway down the sidewalk. Tony went for some bricks Marlaina had stacked outside their fence and I let him stack them up. Until I saw ants crawling all over the sidewalk and the bricks. I told Tony the ants were yucky and I put the bricks back. He wasn’t happy, but happier than if he’d gotten bit by the fire ants! Then Tony was ready to go back home.

We’d been in the house only for a short time when Tony seemed to be getting restless. We decided to go to the pool. Tony and I had tons of fun at the pool. He is getting really good at moving around the pool. I think after awhile he will be ready to actually swim without a floating bathing suit! Definitely next summer! He loves the water, and his favorite pool snack is cookies! He had two and a half big ones today. There were a few false alarms when he said “all done pool” but was not really ready to part with the water. I would say “okay, let’s go,” and hold his hand and the bag. The next thing I know we are once again poolside and his foot is in the water! Silly boy.
