Cool thing from the last 24: Jake made friends with everyone. Saturday morning, we had breakfast, and then Jake and I raked leaves together. Toward the end of the raking, he wandered off, in search of something more interesting. I looked for him for a while, confident he was safe, but not knowing where that was. I found him hanging out with another family eventually, and took him to the bathroom to change into his swim trunks. I let him change in there. When I walked into the bathroom to check on him, I heard his voice coming from the stalls. On the right was a man's shoes, shorts, and ankles, obviously seated. In the left stall, I saw Jake's bare bottom, sitting down so he could pull on his shorts. He was telling his neighbor about the movie "Wreck it Ralph", who was dutifully saying, "Uh-huh" at regular intervals. The boy has no inhibitions, and will make friends with anyone, at any time.
We stayed there until about 12:30, swimming from 10-noon or so. By that time, we were all hungry, so we went to the Beekman Square Diner. Christian ended up with a huge cheeseburger, fries, and ice cream. Jake had an order of pancakes. Both came with ice cream, and they picked chocolate chip mint. We got stuff, and were very satisfied. I had a Greek burger, which was both interesting and tasty.
When we got home, the girls were gone, so we watched "The Princess Bride" together. It's a slow start for Jake, but the boys enjoyed it. It really does stand up well. And then I watched the Heat lose.
Busy, wonderful day.
