Swimming, Water Table and Kisses...Oh My!

The weekend before Easter our neighborhood had a little party at the park behind our house. They had a petting zoo and an egg hunt...although Harrison didn't participate in the egg hunt he did have fun with the animals. He got to pet a goat and see baby goats and chicks. I think he had the most fun just roaming around the playground and walking up and sliding down the slide.





Harrison has a new "trick". Mark taught him how to give kisses. Really, it is just too cute!



Swimming has been going well. Harrison loves the water and gets really excited when it is his turn to get in the pool. He is supposed to be learning a swim-float-swim sequence, where he breaks to float so he can rest. In true Harrison fashion, he has no desire to float. All he wants to do is go-go-go! He loves to swim to the side of the pool and grab onto the bar and would do it over and over again if his teacher let him. Here are a couple of clips from last Friday's lesson.



On Saturday we set up Harrison's new entertainment--a sand and water table. He LOVES to be outside and would stay out there all day if we let him. Now that we have this on the back deck, we have spent a lot of time there already. He loves to just roam around the deck and then come back to the sand or water and then roam some more, etc. Right now the weather is beautiful so it is great to be out there. Come July when it's over 100 degrees every day we'll see how we feel about this!

We did Harrison's baptism at the Easter Eve service on Saturday night. Considering the service started at his bedtime, he did really well. Here are a couple of pictures from that evening. He looks pretty handsome...at least in my very biased opinion :-)
