Leah and great day swimming

This morning, Collin woke me up earlier than I expected him to.  It was still after 7am but I was hoping to get a little more sleep.  He pushed my head in a rocking motion and told me, "time to open your eyes and stretch Mommy.  It's time to get up."  Fortunately, it was still dark out so I told him it was NOT time because it was dark out.  He crawled in bed for about 10 minutes and then it was time again to get up. 

He wanted waffles for breakfast and ended up eating three of them.  The mass eating continues in the morning too.  I was hoping he would not take too long because I wanted to swim laps this morning (ended up swimming 600 meters).  Fortunately, Collin likes the "club" because they have movies he likes to watch.  We were there about an hour and then came home to play at the house.  Batman Collin come out to play in his playroom. 

We left to meet Miss Leah and family for lunch and to bring Lisa food for the week. Collin did great at the restaurant and ate most of his food...again. Here are some pictures of the family enjoying holding Leah.

Collin's Daddy and baby Leah.  He loved giving her kisses on top of her head.  I cannot blame him for that.  :)

After lunch, we went to Leah's house for just a few minutes to drop off food we bought for the week and hold Leah a little longer.  I knew that we had a heated pool waiting back at our house.  Collin was so excited about this that he did not fuss when it was time to leave.  He even told the neighbors that were outside when we got home.  We swam, played, used water guns, swam some more, did hand stands under the water, threw balls and just had so much fun almost an hour and a half.  We all had a blast!  When we finished, we got cleaned up and then had snacks.  Collin ate strawberries, apples, dry cheerios and pretzels and then a third of chicken soup.  Again.....that's a ton of food for him...especially at night.  I was hoping that the full tummy and the swimming would help him fall asleep sooner tonight...and it worked.  He was asleep by 8:30pm.  Thank you!!!!

What a great weekend!
