Well, we had our first pool party today in the new plastic baby pool. Jonathan had one little girl over and we all spent more time on the back porch eating than in the hot sun and pool. Poor Jeff had to cut grass all afternoon and missed it. We had a great time, I love summertime.

One of the advantages of being outside all week is that Jonathan is beginning to recognize when he urinates. After all, those swimmies are too expensive to use in our little baby pool, he swims with nothing but the bathing suit on. He has done really well, in fact, has gotten out to "do his business" several times - although it may be pure luck! The boy drinks all the time. He hasn't felt the need to do the other in the pool yet, I hope to be at the grocery store or somewhere when he does- yuk!

This type of "freedom" comes with a price though- we were having our picnic lunch (with his little friend and mother) this afternoon and he looked up at me and smiling, said "pee-pee". Sure enough- he was peeing on my rocking chair next to his friend! Gross- Needless to say, he didn't get to finish his sandwich and had his own cushion for the rest of the visit! Gotta love boys!
