The Beach
Andrew loves his swimming suit. And he seems to love the ocean because in his 18-month-old-way he gets very excited every time we see the water, whether we are eating breakfast or walking along the beach path or driving the car or looking from our room.
He does not, however, like the sand! He doesn't want to touch it or have it on his hands or walk in it. Which, ironically, didn't keep him from experimenting eating it (once!). This was a rare moment when he was not glued in the crook of my left arm.
I also think he is, rightly so, scared of the crashing waves, at least from his 2 1/2 foot vantage point. We finally ventured out into the surf so we could be out in the swell, jumping the waves before they crashed. That made everyone happy.
Calvin could spend all day chasing the waves in and out. If you know him well, you will not be surprised to learn that he studied the waves rolling in and ran to meet them accordingly. I think he was totally thrilled and totally terrified.
The beautiful ocean.
My beautiful little blond beach boys.
Calvin has a new tan and Andrew has new freckles.
