smart shopper

Our L.L. Bean catalog came in the mail yesterday and Dennis got hold of it this morning. He flipped through it, showing me several items, like "look, Mommy, backpack" and "look, sippy cups" and my favorite "look, Mommy, Allison shoes!" (this for a page of flip-flops very similar to the kind she often wears, but I was certainly impressed that he'd even noticed!).

We spent the day at the lake, with Dennis playing in his little float with his arm wings on. He kicked and turned and leaned his head back in the water, really learning how to move and navigate and be more comfortable in the water. We had a great day, and Allison did indeed enjoy looking at the shoes he had picked out for her in the catalog when she came down to go to the lake with us!
