Rain, desserts and Olympics

Wednesday is water day at school. The teachers had a little pool and a beach ball sprinkler set up when I dropped the kids off at school. It was supposed to rain today so I didn't think the kids would get a chance to play outside. I asked John tonight if he got to do water day today. He said "First it was on and then we were going to go outside and then it was cancelled. Cause it was raining. And then it stopped raining and we went outside. And I felt a raindrop on my head. But it was from the beach ball."

After dinner and bath John asked "What's for dessert?" I told him he could go upstairs and get something out of the snack box. He goes upstairs and comes down with one Kit Kat bar. We sent him back upstairs to get something for Gillian. He came back downstairs with a box of raisins. Really? Raisins?

I let John stay up late tonight. He really wanted to watch some of the Olympics. Daddy and I love watching the Olympics so over the past couple of days John has learned a lot. He says to me "I'm going to be in the Olympics for running. Cause I'm fast and I'm good at jumping." I asked him if he would run short or long distance. He didn't hesitate and said "Long!" Then he got off the bed and ran around my bedroom. He also turned over a laundry basket and put it in the middle of the floor. I must have give him a crazy look because he said "What? I'm not going to jump over the bed!" He then ran and "jumped" over the laundry basket. He did it a few more times until he needed "a rest." We watched some more of the synchronized diving. He loved when then did the backward dives. "Mommy. I like the backwards the best. Did you see that?" He gives the best play by play. I highly recommend watching any event with John.
