Bob continues to be his cute self. He loves his bath, and he will stay in the bathtub for hours if we let him. Last night, he was in the bathtub for almost an hour. The water was cold. Bob was cold. He had goose bumps. I told him it was time to come out of the bathtub. He said no - more bath. I told him he had to come out of the bathtub because he was covered with goose bumps. I then pointed to the goose bumps all over his legs. He saw the bumps and he started to cry. He did not know what they were. He was scared. He thought something was wrong. I explained to him that they were temporary, and that once he got warm they would go away. He calmed down. When he was warm and dry I showed him that the goose bumps were gone. He was happy again.
Bob started to come home with toys in his backpack. I asked his schoolteacher about them. She said they did not belong to the classroom. I kept on asking Bob where they came from, but with his speech being unclear at times, even Jim and I had a hard time figuring out what he was saying. He kept on coming home with the toys. We finally figured out they belong to the bus driver. She buys toys to keep on the bus to keep the young children occupied. I was happy to return them. Most of them were noisy.
We have small tomatoes on our tomato plants. They are still green, but they are growing. We are going to have more tomatoes this year than we had last year when we attempted the same thing in California (we had smaller pots then - we only got one tomato).
Jim and Bob are leaving for NY on May 30th. I am leaving on the 7th. We are hoping to get to my Aunt Gige and Uncle Joe's 50th wedding anniversary party on the 10th.
Bob went poop on the potty on Friday. We were all excited. We danced and sang. Bob got one of the Thomas DVD's that come with a toy train my in-laws bought for him. We told Bob that he could get one every time he went poop on the potty. He has only gone once so far. They gave us a total of six of the DVD - train sets.
We went to the park yesterday and tried to fly a kite - it was a huge Dragon kite we got at Costco. It is really pretty. When Jim was putting it together, a group of kids gravitated towards him to get a peek at the kite. It has a 72 inch wingspan. But it was not windy enough. The longest period of time Jim got it to fly was about a minute. According to Weatherpulse, it is windier today than yesterday. Maybe we will try and fly it again today. When we got home, Bob just could not stop talking about the kite. He also remembers the airplane kite we had in California that broke. He wanted us to "wake up in the morning get new airplane kite." We told him we would think about it. For now though, I think one kite is enough. We also have a Nemo fish kite somewhere in the closet that we got in the 99 cent store. We had another one of those in California as well, but while at the beach, I let Bob hold the string for a couple of minutes, and he walked next to a palm tree. The kite got tangled in the top of the tree. At least that one was also a 99 cent store purchase. It did not come with a tail (probably why it was in the 99 cent store) and it did not fly well, so I made a tail out of a plastic shopping bag and cut it out with nail clippers (It was all I had in the car at the time). It did not look the prettiest, but it worked and Bob was delirious. I will make a tail for this one before we attempt to fly it. I think the dragon would be a little too heavy for Bob to fly. I fear he may end up like Curious George in the story "Curious George flies a kite" and go up up in the sky.
