Little Ninja Fish
My son spent the week with his Papa. I can't believe that he knows how to swim like he does. He can dive in the pool! He can also swim to the bottom of the pool to grab pool toys. It's amazing. He's jumping off of the diving board!! I don't think I could swim that well at 4. He such a little fish! He learned all of this over the summer, but this past week is when he actually learned to dive and swim to the bottom of the pool. He is doing great:) I'm such a proud Mom right now:)
Will thinks that he is a ninja lately.... He wears his Ninja Turtle costume from Halloween last year complete with the turtle shell, pool goggles, Binoculars strung around his neck, and he carries a flash light. He is obsessed with flash lights. It's really funny. His imagination is at work in over drive....He got a new bike and he calls it his ninja turtle bike because it's green, I guess. Papa had some influence over the ninja thinking. He tells Will " Oh, Ninja's don't act like that. If your going to be a ninja, you have to brush your teeth." " And, if you don't brush your teeth, I'm going to have to give you the Cobra Clutch." It seems to be working.... I remember when my brother went through the ninja phase. He was a bit older and I remember him making the ninja stars out of paper and black duct tape. What do you actually call these things?Anyway,these were deadly weapons! I also remember my brother dressing in Camo from head to toe and even putting a small camo shirt on our dog. He put a leash on the dog and hopped on his skate board to go trick or treating one year. I, too, wore camo and had a fake machine gun courtesy of my brother. We were such cool little kids. I saw a picture recently of me decked out in camo. It's hilarious. I think I was maybe 6 in the picture? I love to see the imagination at work in little kids. I miss being a kid myself! Looking back I know we sure had fun....Oh! Will also likes Jackie Chan movies. I wonder who watched those with him? Hmmm... I just don't know about the Jackie Chan movies. He may go to school trying to act like Jackie Chan and knock some kid out or something. He doesn't call him Jackie Chan... It's Jackie Channel. He seems to be ALL BOY according to my Dad.
I asked Will if he had a girlfriend at the YMCA and he told me that girls were stinky and they don't brush their teeth. I guess he came into contact with a smelly girl with bad breath. Who knows? He's my little man:) I am so glad that he was around my father for a week. He came home so happy! He's back at the YMCA for the rest of the Summer. Back to Karate, swimming, gymnastics, and really cool field trips:) I'll have to write these things down more often, so that I will have the memories to share with him when he is older....
