Babies and Oreos (have nothing to do with each other)

My mom had a baby! Whoo! and all that excitement. I do love him. Little Nameless is very alert and energetic and loves to be held and sung to. I think, though, that after growing up with a consistency of new babies (I don't know if that made sense or was grammatically correct, so I'm glad you all love me), I got very used to it. The excitement sort of wears off. It'll be fun when he gets older and can play and laugh and stuff. I hope that changes for me when I have my own kids! My poor children. What will they ever do?

Story time! This is probably only funny to me, but I hope you can find some enjoyment in it. Last night Micheal and I were at the store, and I saw some fudge Oreos. Since I had never tried them before, I decided to buy some because they are Oreos, after all. It was pretty cool! On one side of the Oreo it says "fudge" or something like that, and on the other it's supposed to have a dip-o-meter for dipping it in the milk. My first one had it, but Mike's didn't. I laughed so hard! As he said, they might as well have written "Hahaha" on there. Silly boy that I love! Can't even dip his Oreos now because they won't give him a way to rate how much to dip it.

Just Keep Swimming

So I'm teaching kids how to swim. Shouldn't be too hard, right? You wouldn't think so, but my three year-old class is a nightmare, and there are only four of them. One won't get into the normal pool without screaming and being held, and another only wants to sit in the corner (literally) and play by himself. The two girls are really good, except one of them almost drowned in the baby pool. I guess I should expect that to happen with kids who are learning to swim.

It's really not all that bad, though. I have a student that's five or six, and he is very intelligent. He was talking about the water levels changing and stuff like that, and he sounds like an adult. I like him. I have another girl that's four that always says "Towie, wook at dis!" "Towie..." It's cute. And another girl, five years old, calls me teacher and tells me thank you after every lesson. The kids really grow to trust their teacher, and I like that. It's a lot of fun.

Lifeguarding is a lot of fun, too! I just started last week. My shoulders are now sunburned, but there's one girl who's a lot worse. I like my job. Everyone is pretty cool, and the job itself is entertaining. So far I haven't had to jump in the water, but if I do I'll let you know! I hope it doesn't happen for a while. :) Loves!
