A couple nights ago we were getting John to bed. I was holding him, and often he'll like to have his blanket tucked around him when I hold him, so he had that, and he wanted to get down and sing Teddy Bear Teddy Bear. So he did, and when we came to the line where you say "Teddy Bear Teddy Bear reach up high" and you put your arms up in the air, John tucked the blanket under his chin and held it there while he put his arms in the air. Ha.

We usually play John's music during supper, and one song was the On Top Of Spaghetti, and when the guy sings "and then my poor meatball was nothing but mush", he kinda cries, and John always thinks that's funny, and we kinda pretend to cry along, and last night when I did that, John played along and said "that's ok, daddy"!

It was another lovely evening, so we packed up the kids and went over to the lake for a bit. The water was nice and warm, although rather mucky along the shore. Don't know if boats or the wind stirred things up. The kids had lots of fun. Hanna got a bit cold after awhile, and was shivering and wanted out, so Rhonda got her dressed. John has discovered the rinse-off shower, and so loves to have us push the buttons. (They're a bit tough for him to push by himself.) So he wants us to alternate, push the top one (shower), push the bottom one (for the feet), etc...

Then, we went over to the playground area, and they had fun together. They've really been playing well and having fun together lately. John would go down a slide first, and wait part way down, and then Hanna would come down after him and run into him, and they both thought that was great fun.
