Hello!
I hope everyone had a great 3-day weekend! I ended up taking Michael all for myself on Saturday, and we had a blast! In San Diego it was scorching hot on Saturday, so what better thing to do than go for a swim? Since Michael's so skinny and sensitive to cold, it's been a while since I've taken him for a swim. But he loved it! Since UCSD's pool was empty for a couple hours during a water polo tournament, it was the perfect opportunity to take Michael for a swim with no one else getting in the way.

Michael doesn't know how to swim, but loves splashing around the water anyways! I would take two pool noodles and put them under his armpits while he floats on his back so he could kick around. The two noodles are good enough at supporting him where he can float and kick around as much as he likes! Michael can turn around on his own, but refuses to try and swim on his stomach. Every time I try to flip him over he would try and flip around onto his back. He especially liked walking around our hot tub (UCSD's got the best hot tub in the world if you ask me). Afterwards, we rinsed off and watched part of one of the polo games. Michael's never watched water polo before but he loved it! It was a totally new environment for him, and he handled it really well.
Afterwards, we made some lunch at home and watched some Game of Thrones. Michael loves watching tv shows or movies with action, so he really enjoyed watching GOT. A couple hours later we went on a Costco adventure, and Michael did really well with how chaotic it was. He really hates crowds and noisy areas, but only got upset once! Once we got the stuff we needed, we got dinner at our favorite restaurant, World Curry, and Michael was so happy and full of food.
I can't remember the last time I got to have Michael for an entire day to myself, but will definitely need to be fitting more of those into my schedule in the upcoming months. As always, if you ever have any comments or questions, feel free to fill out a contact form :)
