Today is the first day of summer! In Northern California, it’s hot. We’ve been in the upper 90s and over 100 degrees already for a few days. Tootles had his first day in the pool with his dad. And this kid loves the pool, but hates the bath? Must be the shampoo in the hair…

“By the fountain! NOO!”

Kicking.

“Daddy to kick for you!”

This is what they call a “spinner”.

“Daddy to go over there!”

Drying off.

Thinking…

“Again!!”
Happy Summer!

I'm a lawyer and the mom of a 6 year old boy with autism.
I work part time and spend the rest driving here and there and everywhere for my son's various therapies. Instead of trying cases, I now play Pac-man and watch SpongeBob. I wear old sweaters and jeans and always, always flat shoes to run after my son.
Yeah, it's different but I wouldn't change it for anything. The love of my child is the most powerful, beautiful and rewarding aspect of my life.
I think it’s funny that you can’t quite manage a totally wordless Wednesday. I like it!!! p.s. I love the pointing that Tootles does and I’m really hoping that your entire summer is a happy one.
Lol! It is just me! Always talking.
Happy Summer!
That looks like such fun!! Happy Summer!
I know! You won’t see me cuz – shhh- I don’t know how to swim!
Awesome. Love the narrative!
Father, child, pool = fun!
Yep the temp is climbing here too.
I love the hot weather! I could live with summer all year!
I don’t like humidity but the heat is fine with me.
Oh yes – I forgot about the humidity where you are!! I have not visited there for over 10 years (and I miss the City!!) but I remember the humidity in August when I stayed in New Hyde Park for a couple weeks. Still it was so green and beautiful!
That is a pretty area for sure.
Love this! At least one of you gets to stay dry to take some pictures.
Haha! So true! But I better knock on wood – you know how boys like to splash!
Awww!! What a cutie pie!! The Don’s the same way in the water!! He comes back out with only the nape of his neck wet (also despises hair washing!) Those are such great pics, looks like you guys had a blast!! **yay summer!** (Or so they say… Can’t complain too much, I was able to leave the house without a jacket today **woo!!** heh heh heh)
How funny those similarities! I was raised in the Pacific Northwest where we often had rain on the 4th of July so I do know the bit about cold summers but as I write this it is 5 am where you are and – ack! 59 degrees?!? Goodness girl!! You need another trip to Mexico!
I know! **grumbles incoherently** I think I was a little too optimistic yesterday, woke up and it was pouring rain. **sigh** British summers suck!! **lol**
Not much longer!!
Ok… is that *your* pool? Like, at your house? WOW! I hate swimming, but I think I might make an exception there
I love when the daddies “jump in” (pun intended) and get involved like that. great to see your menfolk together!
You’re so funny. Yes, it’s our house and you are always welcome to come visit and swim whenever you make your way out here!
Happy Summer. Can’t wait to soak up some of that California sun.
Haha! That’s only funny because all of a sudden, we got a cold spell and it’s only going to be 78 here today! Who knew?
