Playground and Pizza

The boys got to go to a new playground this evening. We went over to the aquatic center, because we're planning to sign them up for swimming lessons. (I'm not sure if any actual "swimming" is done at this age, though. Hopefully it'll be something beyond just "put your face in the water and blow bubbles", which James at least can already do. That kid loves to put his face in the water!)

The downside of James's climbing ability is that now he's getting curious about going down some of the climbing ladders on the play structures, which he definitely can't do yet on his own. It's funny how their new abilities these days also seem to require more rather than less adult supervision!

The temperatures were up into the 90s today. It turns out James has inherited his mother's tendency to turn bright red in the heat (not sunburn, just flushed.)

We stopped for pizza on the way home and ran into some friends there (who, unfortunately, are moving out of town next month) -- it was nice to catch up with them. At the end of the meal, James decided that he wanted to eat his cheese puffs and Cheerios with a fork. It was funny to watch, but he was pretty good at it!
