Rainy Day

Mason's rain day fort

Vacuuming 

Big Boy Bed

The closer Mason gets to turning 2 years old, the more mature and independent he becomes. On the cruise ship, the crib was too small for him to use so he was forced to sleep on a twin mattress on.the floor . He loved it. I was terrified. 

He did so good in a big boy bed that once we were back home, Anthony converted the crib to a toddler bed. Mason is so proud of his new bed and loves the new monkey sheets Anthony bought to ease the transition. 

... I'm the one not ready for all this change.

Mason loved seeing all the life boats

One of a Mason's favorite part of the cruise was the towel animals that were left on your bed every night

We had a great trip

Bon Voyage!

Today we set sail on a 5 day Carnival Cruise to the Bahamas! We are so excited to relax and play on the boat.

Swim Lessons

 This week, Mason started swim lessons. He is in a class of 5 kids ranging in age from Mason up to 3 years old. 

 Learning to kick

 Practicing 1-2-3 then putting his face in the water until his teacher Mr.Malcolm counts to 3 again.

Something else they teach is they let go of him by the wall of the pool, to simulate him falling in, and now he turns himself around and and grabs the wall to pull himself out.

The instructor gives out dumdum lollipops for their hard work at the end of class. I was hesitant at giving him the treat , but figured he deserved it after being such a good sport !

We have one more week to go!

Truck, Boats and Pool time

This week we got a lot of play time out at Talquin.
