Sofia left yesterday. Olga is by herself for the first time now. Her mom was here the first week with her and Sofia the second. I wonder how she is liking being alone? Olga has always lived with her parents and this is her first venture out of the house and away from home. I think if it were me I might enjoy the tranquility of being out here. It is very different from the big city of San Jose. I hope Olga thinks the same as me!
It was so hot this morning that after I woke from my morning nap me, mom and dad went for a nice swim before lunch. I was sporting my new watermelon bathing suit with a built in diaper! We swam for 45 minutes all the while listening to Bob Marley. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning. When it was time to get out mom asked my dad to help her pull my bathing suit off in the pool. My new swimsuit is very tight fitting and it comes off easier in the water than out. So dad begins to pull my bathing suit off when suddenly he gasps and says OMG there is poop coming out everywhere! My mom yanks me out of the water and hangs me over side while dad’s face is getting red. In almost 4 years I have never ever had an accident in the pool. Why would mom think there would be poo in there this time? Guess there is a first time for everything! Oops, guess mom should have struggled with the swimsuit outside of the water and not inside! We learned a few things today, 1. My swimsuit really works well, mom never knew there was a surprise waiting in there. 2.Never take my swimsuit off again in the water. 3. After draining the water in the pool we found a small tear on the bottom of it which we were able to patch! After cleaning the pool from top to bottom and refilling it back up we should be ready to go for a swim this weekend! I sure hope so. You know life is all about learning. You are never too young or too old to learn something new!
