Kaylee and Jon waited all yesterday for the delivery man to bring it. Jon telecommutes on Thursdays and kept coming out from the “office” to see if it had arrived.
He had to go to Joshily’s house to get some tools (all the tools are there for the reno) to put it together.
Regan helped him put it together. Jon’s been riding almost every morning before work. He is working up endurance to be able to ride to work.
Regan first swim without the turtle.
Dwayne tossed him across the pool many many times. He loved it. Dwayne got out, and I got in. Regan asked me to “fly me far Mom.” I knew I was not capable of flying him very far at all so I told him he could “fly” himself off the diving board. He thought this was a brilliant idea.
It started like this. It took some doing to convince him that he could do it without his turtle.
And then we couldn’t tear him away. He slept like a rock this night.
Kaylee has been asking for a violin for a couple of months now. She has also been asking to organize her piggy bank so she can go shopping. I helped her order a toy violin online.
She walked up to Jon with her little wallet pulled out her bills and said, “Here you go Daddy. This is all the money I have in my wallet. Is it enough?” She was five dollars short. He didn’t tell her that though.
She had to wait six days for it to arrive. It was a lesson in delayed gratification. She loves it.
