Fwimmin'

Ok, so yesterday Em and I went swimming. I don't know why, but she keeps calling it "fwimmin'" which is crazy, because that's not what it is! Anyway, after Mom got me dressed and put nasty sun screen on me we got in the truck and went for a drive. I kept waiting to see the water, since that's what Dad said we were looking for. I even tried to sing to it and call it, but of course no one understood what I said (not everyone speaks hydrotongue like I do). Em screamed the whole way because she didn't want to wait. Silly girl. Like that's going to make anything better!
When we finally got there, I was kind of bummed. We went into a house, and of course everyone knows there's no water in a house. Then we went outside and all I saw was green stuff. We sat around for a while. I tried to go look for the water, but no one would let me. They kept carrying me back to Mom and Dad, which kind of sucked, because that's a lot of effort to keep crawling around on the concrete and through the grass. Just when I was about to give up hope, someone mentioned that "swimmin'" thing again. I kept watching, but no one got up.
Finally Mom got changed and we went and found the water. It was cold at first, and I screamed. I mean, come on, if you're going to play in the water, it should at least be nice and warm, right? But then I got to splashing around and started kicking. Mom put me in this stupid seat thing and I couldn't move. She finally took me out when I almost flipped myself over. After that she put these stupid things on my arms.... I looked like a dork. But it was kind of cool because then I was floating around without any help! It was awesome! While Dad watched me, Mom and Em played. Em kept jumping off the steps and making mom catch her. I still don't understand that part. Em would go clear under the water and then have to wipe her face off when she came up. She kept swallowing water and spitting it out. What fun is that? But, she wanted to do it, and Mom was smiling, so I guess it's a good thing. Then Em got stuck in this plastic ring, and she kept floating around and rolling herself over in circles. I guess she thought it was fun, because she kept laughing. She was kicking and moving her arms a lot, but she never really got anywhere.
Then we got out and ate, and I didn't like the food, but the fruit was good. The Pepsi was good, too, even though mom yelled at me for getting into it. ;-) Em got in trouble for hitting someone, but I think he kind of deserved it, because he took her ice. The big people sat around and talked some more while I colored with the chalk. I made nice pictures until Em sat on them with her wet butt and smeared them. I got kind of mad, but she gave me a cookie, so I guess it was worth it.
Then we got back in the water and I got to float around some more. Man, this water thing is cool! Finally, a place where I can move just like everyone else! I got my face wet a couple of times. I'm still not sure about this, but I guess it's just one of those things. Em played again, too, and she and mom were doing that thing on the ladder. Maybe it's a girl thing....
Anyway, when we got out, we had to get ready to go home. I helped Dad with my straps on my seat, but he didn't seem like he was very thankful. We need to work on that! I guess I fell asleep, because the next thing I remember was when Dad got me back out of my seat, and we were at home.
I ate some pizza for supper, and then I was getting really tired. Mom put me to bed and the next thing I remember, they were waking me up for therapy this morning. It doesn't get much better than a day of water and sleep! I think Em feels the same, because they had to wake her up, too. I wonder when we're going back.....
