I think it's so funny how a five year old thinks. I bought a little pool for the kids to play in in our yard. I set it up and filled it. It was on a bit of a slope, which I couldn't tell until the water was in it. So of course, the water was deeper on one side than the other. Well, Jake just couldn't have that! So he kept getting the hose, turning it on and trying to fill the "shallow" end of the pool. I didn't even bother trying to explain it to him. I started to, but then realized he thought he was being smart by topping up the water on the one side, so I let him carry on.
A little while later, a jet flew over. He said "I'm going to splash it!". So, he scooped up the water and flung it up into the air. It came down all over him and he just wiped the water out of his eyes, blinked at me and said "did I hit it?" Again, I didn't have the heart to explain it to him that there was no possible way the water would reach that high. He looked so proud of himself for getting that water so high in the air I just said "yes Jake, you soaked that plane!" He looked pretty happy about that.
Later on, I was having a power nap on the couch (not planned) and when I woke up I realized I had fallen asleep with my feet crossed over each other on the ottoman. I couldn't even bend one of my ankles it hurt so bad! Jake just walked over to me, bent down and said "Here mommy, I'll kiss it better. Where does it hurt?". So cute...what a little man....:)
Amy was in the pool too today. She loved it. She kept trying to climb the slide. She has no fear. She even climbed the ladder without much help. She's so strong and determined! We are amazed at how smart she is too. She knows how to put her shoes on already, and can even get one arm into a coat! She's so cute...she's just a doll.
We're looking forward to Jennifer, KC and the kids visit in a week or so. Jake loves to see his cousins!!
