Birthday weekend...

This year's birthday was spent in my most favorite way: with Mikey and Izzy. We watched movies Friday night. Shopped Saturday and then dinner out (all with Iz, of course). And Sunday we went to the indoor water park and then had a bunch of friends over for the Super Bowl.

Izzy didn't take to the water like she did over the summer. Must have something to do with the water temperature...she was used to either being in the sun or being in a 90 degree heated pool. She screamed as soon as Mike put her in, started shaking and all. So Mike did the only think a logical parent would do: he dunked her. The lifeguard (read: 16 year old rookie) gasped and covered her mouth, then immediately looked at me like, "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?!" I smiled and said it was ok, she had been doing the underwater dunks all summer. Regardless, this did NOT make Izzy any happier. There were slides and fountains and water toys galore. None of these appeased Iz. Only when we got out and watched daddy go up and down the huge water slides was Izzy finally happy...warm and wrapped in a towel and mommy's arms. Phew...looking forward to the sunny days of warm pool time!!

Happy Birthday! Just left you msg on FB. Don't worry...we are doing swim "lessons" (parent/tot) with Carter at Butler and he screamed for the first 15 minutes of the first class (and the class is only 30 minutes). He still didn't like it much after he stopped screaming. I think it just takes them a while to get back into the swing of things! Glad you had a Happy Birthday weekend!
