Pool Patrol

Alexis has crowned herself "Head of the Pool Patrol" as of today. It didn't start out as a very nice day today, but we decided to hit the pool anyway since it was supposed to be sunny all day. While there, Alexis made a little friend and that little girl walked over to Max at one point and said she wanted to play with him. Alexis, in her sassy little attitude says, "Max, is NOT a toy". The little girl calmly says, "well, I just wanted to play with him". Alexis possessively responds, "Well, he's MY Max". I didn't know she was so possessive of him.

Additionally, she didn't want anyone to play with her noodle at the pool, but since we weren't using it, some other kids were borrowing it. Alexis kept asking us to get it, but I kept telling her that it was ok if they borrowed it and we would get it back eventually. Again, in the new sass that she has developed, she says, "Well, I'm Alexis. I like pink (the noodle is pink, of course). And so it's mine". I really love that logical deduction there. I think Alexis could be a philosophy major one day!

Also, she told a little boy that he needed to go to time-out. The little boy then proceeded to go to his mom and tell her that he needed a time-out because that little girl said so (hey, at least he was listening to Alexis boss him around). She asked him if he deserved one, and he said no. Of course, he was trying to steal her prized noodle right out from under her.

With all the smack that she talks, you would think she was a big, brave kid; however, her bark is bigger than her bite. The girl is scared to death of the big pool. I see the torture of swimming lessons in our future. She screams like a banshee and carries on when we make her get in and swim with us. She would rather just stay on the nice, safe steps. Max, on the other hand, loves cruisin' around the pool in his float. Here are some pics from our pool day.

Surprisingly Alexis is not with her noodle here!!!
