Fun in the sun (and water)

Before school let out at the end of May, we were really busy. 

Just before Memorial Day weekend, after they put us to bed one night, Mom and Dad were on the back patio enjoying the mild weather on our swing. They heard a thump but didn't think much of it. Mom went inside to find Turner -- who has been talking a lot more lately, saying things like "Hello Mitch," "Hello, lunch," and "banana cold" -- outside of his bedroom at the top of the (gated) stairs. She was very surprised since he had gone to bed safely in his crib in his room.

When she and Dad figured out he had jumped out of his crib, they knew it was time to start thinking about switching him to a bed. 

Mom started researching on Craig's List and found something -- a desk for Hazel! Hazel is a little artist and Mom thought it would be nice for her to have her own space to create in her room. Hazel announced that she would never sleep again once Mom hauled it up to her room. 


The next week, Mom found a new bed for Hazel, then ordered a mattress, sheets, and a comforter. Hazel is pretty excited about her new digs and Mom is excited to have a new place to take a nap. And Turner got to have Hazel's bed.  Everyone was a winner!

Things started changing outside too, with warmer weather. We celebrated Memorial Day by going to a party with a kid pool and we broke out the slip n slide in our backyard. 

The next week was my last week of the preschool program I've been in for two years. It was very hard saying goodbye to everyone. We performed a dance, the same one as last year, and Mom and Dad were proud of how much I improved over the year. We also had a splash day outside, which was a lot of fun.

Here we are -- photos of us in the sprinkler and slip n slide.
