My Seussical Life for 2004 March 16

Dave has been slaving away studying for an advanced statistics exam that is being given in two parts. The first part took place Monday, and tomorrow he will complete the final half in class. In order to give him a break and let the boys see their beloved Papa, I picked Dave up from school around 4:00 and we went swimming.

Samuel was doing a great job manuvering around in his life jacket, and with a little help, he was flipping onto his belly, putting his mouth in the water and motor-boating. It was a great day at the pool.

On the way home, Atticus had an emergency need to go to the bathroom. We were on the very edge of town with pretty much fields to the west of us, so we pulled over and Atticus had his first experience peeing in the grass. You can only guess how much this new awareness thrills him. When he got back into the car, he informed me, "The grass is a really good place to pee." And then added in afterthought, "When there's not a potty."
