i go swimming at lake house

After nagging me all morning to "go lake house Mommy, let's go", we headed down to meet up with Allison and her cousin and Gran and Pop and Grandma and Bob. I attempted to put Dennis down for a nap after lunch, but he had other ideas, so he came swimming with us in his puddle jumper life jacket and Elmo float. He's an excellent little float swimmer and can kick himself in whatever direction he chooses (and gosh, he's so FAST!), and can spin around in milliseconds and look in any direction he chooses. I'm so proud of him, and we haven't even started this year's swim classes yet!

When we were attempting the nap, he called out from the bed "Mommy, what you doing?" and I replied "Mommy is on break". He considered this for a second and then called out "Allison, what you doing?" and I called back that "Allison is putting away all the dominoes you tossed on the floor". He called out "that's right, Mommy, very good" and "good job Allison". While we were swimming he kept saying "let's go see Mr. Hall's house" or "where's Mr. Hall's tractor?" (Mr. Hall is the lake house neighbor) and then "let's go dock and see what Claire's doing" (Claire is Allison's cousin). He's become a rather excellent little conversationalist lately. I really enjoy listening to him!
