Zip It.

I get to work today, drop my bag and head to the ladies room. After I do my business, as I'm zipping up my pants the zipper pull just keeps going and comes clear off the zipper and my pants! So I'm left, standing in the stall, zipper pull in hand, with no way to close my fly. Thankfully, I make it back to my office without running into anyone. After 10 minutes of wrestling with my pants in my office (with the door closed of course), I manage to rig my zipper to stay closed. What an awesome way to start the day! I haven't figured out what's going to happen the next time I need to go to the bathroom...

On a lighter note, Mr. P said "happy" for the first time yesterday.
Cutest. Thing. Ever.

Splash, Splash

First, I can't believe my Mr. P is two years old! Time really does fly... But don't get me wrong, he IS acting like a 2 year old, that's for sure. Full of independence and attitude. I wonder where he gets that from?

In gearing up for the summer, I signed Mr. P and I up for swimming classes. We've completed 4 of 6 'Mommy and Me' classes. Overall I think it's going pretty well. Although, with each class he is less and less enthused with the dunking. He can't stand the feeling of water in his ears, which I guess is a pretty common thing. I'm trying to strike the right balance between pushing him a little bit so he learns it's ok, but not so much that he feels powerless and hates it. It's tough... In any case, he's doing great with learning to kick. He likes draping his arms over a styrofoam noodle and kick, kick, kicking to get his favorite toy in the pool. Of course, I'm always there to help support him, but he's really doing great!
