The kids had their first dip this weekend in the Roe-Jan swimming hole in Milan. It was hot hot hot and the babies were surprisingly willing to be dipped in cool water (although today Odessa cried about what was coming when we ran the water for her bath. Anticipation has arrived!*)As we swished the babies around, a pickup full of 14 kids and 3 dogs arrived, all of whom started swimming a bit up the stream, which meant we were in the wrong spot... so we went back the next day with friends, neighbors and faraway visitors to the nice deep currenty part where they'd been. 24 years it took me to figure out where that swimming hole was. And the babies? Less than 4 months, the smarties.
So it looks like the baby-blob days are over. The kids are watching things that move (like the ceiling fan), talking to bears, giggling at each other and barking to let us know whenever the plinking musical mobile needs to be rewound.*Aaaaaahahaha
