Finally, some pool time


Thankfully, I took Caleb to the pool yesterday because today it is rainning again. It rains here atleast 75% of the time. And 15% of the rest of the days look like it's going to rain at any moment. So, we have about 10% of the days that are warm and sunny. This is the rainy season for Japan and then August and September is the hot and humid months. I've been told that it's so humid here that you just drip with sweat as soon as you leave your house...all those pretty fans that you see Japanese women using, they have a purpose and I've bought several to keep in my purse. It's still in the 70's here, maybe low 80's on rare days. So, it's beautiful when it's not raining.

Caleb had a great time at the pool. He mostly played by himself with some of the toys that Renee sent him in the mail (thanks Renee). He tried to play ball with another boy, but the kid didn't want to share with Caleb and took the ball and left....it was Caleb's ball (not cool kid!). I gotta tell you, it's a difficult job taking your 2 yr. old and baby to the pool, especailly when your baby doesn't want to sleep while you're there. Caleb is pretty self-sufficient, but still, by the time we got home I was exhausted. I can't wait till Shawn's mom gets here. I am really looking forward to some help! Sorry Joann, but I'm going to take advantage of you...and Tom. They will be here in two weeks. I am so Excited~!!!!

Carson has the same swim shirt as Caleb. Good 'ol Old Navy clothes our kids once again. :) I hear you when you say you're exhausted after the pool with little ones. This is the first summer where I feel a little more relaxed during our daily swim outings. It does get easier, I promise.
