DJ is a FISH!

DJ LOVES the water! Last year we took him swimming a few times, but he wasn't walking yet and wasn't quite big enough to do anything. He has always loved baths and water... but now we are starting to see JUST HOW MUCH he loves the water! There was a lady nearby with a soda that DJ kept trying to go get... this is the hesitation for DJ to not jump in the water the 2nd time! LOL
We got DJ a set of arm floaties and a vest... and he runs for the water without us! As soon as he gets in the water... he starts cracking up like someone told him a joke! He will even push us away from us, spin around, and is already learning to move his arms and legs to go places in the water!

The other day, we had a storm... it was raining really hard... once the rain calmed down a bit, I took DJ outside to go for a walk in the puddles. He LOVED it. We had been out a while, so I said we needed to go inside...

DJ had a fit! So I let him go in the backyard to play in the rain some more... the next thing I know... is DJ is 'swimming' in rain water that had collected in the lid of his sand box IN HIS CLOTHES! We keep the lid up-side down with a bag of sand on it so it doesn't blow away when it gets windy!

He went round and round that sand bag saying... "SWIMMIN'"! LOL

The next day... we went to our favorite place at the lake to feed the fishies and duckies... and DJ was so mad at us because we kept saying no to him after he'd say: "Off" (to take his shirt off).. and then "Swimming" & "Pool" (to jump in that duck & fish lake water!) He just did not understand. It quickly became easier to just leave! LOL
