Get me outta here...

Am watching it right now and am cracking up.  This dude is too funny.  He is screaming like a girl and dry heaving. 

Funny enough his name is Dean...

I had the very best mothers day.  We were up at the crack of dawn to get to the lake for registration for the Mothers Day Classic walk.  Registration was at 7 race to start at 8.  Well, we get there and find parking right away.  Get registered, get our shirts, and then proceed to stand around until 0930 when the walkers go to go.  7k runners went at 0830 and 3.5k runners at 9.  I was a little annoyed because it didn't say that anywhere until you got there.  But that aside, we had fun running around and Harrison got to play in a jumping castle, I got a mini manicure for free, and Harrison got his face painted as a tiger.  He was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

He loved it and he ROAR'ed at anyone he could.  The first roar he let out was to a guy who was on one knee tying his shoes.  Harrison went  up to him, got on all fours and ROAR'ed as loud as he could and actually scared the guy.  It was hysterical. 

After the walk, we went to my MIL's so she could see the tiger face.  Which of course, she loved.

That afternoon, we had my MIL and her hubby, BIL his wife and 2 kids, BIL, and then of course the 5 of us.  12 of us all up.  And it was a lovely day.  We had a nice BBQ.  I didn't have to do any of the cooking or cleaning.  Neither did any of the other mother's there.  Believe it or not, the boys did the cleaning.  Cam did the cooking. 

It was just a wonderful day.  Hope you all had great days too.

Had swimming lessons today.  Missed last term cuz I was too slack with the move to Perth.  Anyway, started our first lesson today.

The lessons were great.  They focus on water awareness and safety.  A bit more focused that the ones we were in in Melbourne.  Loved the ones in Melbourne and of course harrison is a bit older so he can follow directions a bit better. 

To start with, they get the kids to do a safe entry into the pool.  Harrison thought that was to jump in!  But he caught on quickly and was following directions.  Did a few activities in the very shallow water before moving into the deep end.  Once there, we did some more activities such as walking down the steps, paddling with arms and kicking with legs, jumping off the ledge which Harrison loves, scooting across the wall while holding on with hands and encouraging them to pull themselves up and out of the water.  Harrison kept putting his feet up first silly boy!

Once we were done, we had a bit of a play in the shallow pool and he got to play with Miles, another little boy.  Who's mother took our number to have play dates...but they had a blast going down the slide and splashing in the water.  It was great. 

Good to have a bit of organization to our day.

The past couple of days Harrison has been telling me when he pees...But I think he gets it a bit confused with his poos.  Anyway, tonight, he was brushing his teeth beofre his bath and he said pee, potty.  So we ran into the living room, where the potty was, and ripped off his diaper...which had poop in in, and he sat on his potty. 

Well, he peed in his potty!  Except, that his penis was crooked and pointing up, he mostly peed on the floor. 

But he peed in his potty!  This is the first of many...Yeah!  I am so proud of my little boy.
