Yesterday evening, Caden was running around, making mischief of one kind and another, while Dada made dinner. At one point, the sound of scattering and clattering came from Caden’s play room. Dada looked around the corner from the kitchen and asked, “What’s going on, Caden?” Caden replied, “Dada making pizza. Caden making a mess.”
Caden started swimming lessons last Wednesday. On Tuesday night, Mama made swimming caps for all three of us—they are required at the Y’s pool—and Caden loved his so much he wore it to school on Wednesday. He also demanded to bring his “Beavers ball,” which provided an irresistible photo op. After school and a quick dinner, we headed over to the Y, where Caden had a fantastic time playing in the water, singing favorite songs, and sliding down the slide into the pool.
Spring semester is over at Northeastern, which means Friday lunch barbeques at the lab. Mama and Caden drove in to join everyone for burgers and pot-luck side dishes. Caden especially liked running around outside, playing with the grad students, and checking out the big lobsters in the running seawater tanks. Sal invited us over to their place after work—Liza and Mae were at a Sox game—for dinner and playtime. Caden loved watching their hamster and playing with Mae and Summer’s toys, and we all enjoyed a tasty dinner.
The weather was crummy all weekend, but it’s been nicer these last couple of days. Caden had fun on an unplanned visit to the lab today—his teachers sent him home claiming that he was sick—where he and Dada checked out the animals in the tanks and played with a soccer ball outside. Jeremy let Caden borrow his lobster hat, which led to some pretty cute clowning around.
