Marshall and I usually enjoy watching the Olympics together, but since he was off hiking, Drake took his place as my Olympic companion. Drake got out his United States flag and also, realized that one of the soccer balls he owns has the Olympic rings on it. Drake has enjoyed the gymnastics and the swimming - he is now practicing the four main strokes quite a bit. We even ventured to the pool on Sunday afternoon to test out his new skills. He even showed me his backfloat - I was very impressed! Tanner enjoyed sitting on the edge of the pool (except when he fell in). Drake is very excited to watch diving which I have recorded from last night. It made me very happy when he said "I like the Olympics." I feel the same way.
Tanner is so fun these days. He has put together a couple words recently - Dada shoes and one I can't remember of course. He has also started to tell us when he is "poo poo". He is definitely communicating more and more. He is also figuring out how to play (and tease) Drake. It starts out as fun, but then we always seem to end in screaming. Ah, the brotherly love. The boys and I had a nice weekend. We had happy hour on Friday evening and survived 3 1/2 inches of rain in 1 1/2 hours and a small flood in the basement. It was definitely more fun to be hanging out with friends and drinking during the hail, wind, and rain.
