Last Monday was Memorial Day so Jon had the day off and he took the Friday before off work as well so we had a nice long weekend. On the Friday we took Oliver swimming - we haven't been for ages so it was great to see that he still loved the water. But he has become a little (dare)devil!! He was determined to run into the deeper water without a second thought so Jon had to be there to catch him! It scared us just a little so we tried to keep him in the shallow part as much as possible. Hopefully we can get him back into swimming lessons sometime soon :)
On the Sunday we went over to Grandpa Ray's and Grandma Sandy's for a BBQ (well, Jon helped Ray move some wood and then we had a BBQ!!). I have never seen Oliver eat so much food! He had a hot dog, a brat, corn on the cob, baked beans and strawberry shortcake!! Of course he would never eat so much at our house if we had a BBQ as he proved last night :) Mikayla ate well too and really enjoyed devouring a chunk of watermelon!
I am so proud of Oliver's achievement of the week. For the first time he pointed at his nappy and went running to his changing mat and indeed he needed a change!! Now whenever he does a number 2 he invariably points at his nappy. The first stage in the long road of getting rid of nappies altogether!

Oliver and I have been to a couple of playdates this week. On Tuesday morning he threw his most major tantrum to date after I wouldn't let him play with toys he kept throwing around. It's so hard to know what to do when they get in such a state but he got over it. Thankfully I was at someone's house with other mum's who understand!
Yesterday we went out shopping and Oliver got some new books. I found a set of two book that have wheels and they are his new favourites I think! The car craziness carries on!! He loves seeing motorbikes, school buses, trucks, diggers, trains and pretty much anything else with wheels and an engine :) So today we couldn't resist buying a "Cars" t-shirt in the sale for him! Before bed tonight we read him a dinosaur book and he kissed all the dinosaurs and roared at the T-Rex on the last page - love it!
Other than that we have had lots of playtime outside in the fab weather and you will see a video of Oliver enjoying the garden and playhouse :)
Enjoying his biggest meal to date!
Mmmm - watermelon :)
