Barbara arrived at my house at 8am so Mommy could head to work. 

We drove to Wal-Mart where we had McDonald's breakfast, shopped for a few groceries, and bought some Elmer's glue and glue stick and a bottle of 500 water balloons two swimming pool noodles.  Barbara is ready for me to do more crafts and play that doesn't involves guns, Car Town, policeman, fireman, and vehicles of any kind.

 First activity was a trip to our neighborhood pool.  We got a card key yesterday.  There are two pools.  We will stay in the wading pool until I am a much better swimmer.  The wading pool is from zero to 18 inches deep. 

It is perfect for us to play and practice floating and "tickle, starfish, solider, and glide."
I did both of those but I would not practice kicking or using big arms.  We stayed about 30 minutes.  GGM had a nice shady place to sit.  It was perfect.  The big pool is 3 1/2 feet deep at the shallowest and 4 1/2 feet at the deepest, so it is totally over my head.

 This is what my foot looks like after getting over a dozen ant bites yesterday.  We were afraid it would really swell but it there was just a little swelling.  I am being very good at leaving the little blister alone.

At home we filled a dozen water balloons and I enjoyed busting them.  Barbara said she will fill 30 to 50 in the morning so I will have them to toss and bust after school.

 Barbara always collects small bits of anything that might be used in crafty things, so we spread out a bunch of "stuff" and made a project. 

She did most of the cutting and I did most of the pasting using a glue stick.  We use glue sticks at school.

 I played at making soapy bubbles in this gallon container.

I picked a couple of small tomatoes.  Our tomato plant did not produce like we hoped it would.

I enjoyed watching a Gunsmoke show, but was very disappointed when I found out it is a two part-er and the second part will be on tomorrow.    In this show Matt Dillon was shot in the back, and had to be taken on a train to surgeon.  There was a shipment of gold on the train and also a bank robbery.  I can't wait to see what happens.

GGF found a balloon.  He blew it up and I had a blast trying to keep it in the air by only kicking it.  Later I changed to kicking and punching.

Barbara thinks she has mastered tying my Taekwondo belt.  While we waited for time to leave for class, GGM, Barbara, and I played with the balloon and we were pretty good at keeping the balloon from touching the ground.

My class started out being with the regular stretching and kicks.  About half way through I had to sit down so the other bigger kids could practice their forms.  About that time Mommy and Daddy showed up.  This was the first time Daddy had been to my Taekwondo class.  It was too bad that I spent most of the time he was watching, sitting down.  I bet next time he comes it will be better.

There was a three year old girl, whom we had not seen before, who decided she was GGM and Barbara's best friend.  She squeezed into between them on the bench and proceeded to inspect their old hands and the soft saggy skin on their arms.  I guess she does not spend time around old people.

GGM and Barbara got a lot more rest today because they were not playing our normal police, fire, and guns activities.  They hope they can keep me interested in the new activities.
