We are home from 10ish or so days at the cabin and we'll be home for a stretch of almost 2 weeks before we go back for more. This Summer has been Aiden's Summer at the cabin. He is old enough to do many things now and each night he falls into bed with his eyes already closed because he has been moving all day! He is Tom's constant companion up at the lake. They swim, fish, jet ski, and even go Sailing. I did get the priviledge of taking Aiden on his first jet ski ride. His swimming skills have improved some, and while I know he would still panic if he fell off, I decided maybe putting him on the jet ski would boost his confidence. My cautious child doesn't love it yet, but he will. :) I think tubing is the one thing he isn't doing yet...all in good time. He loves the pontoon with Pappy and this year he got to go sailing with Grandpa. Sailing is my personal favorite way to be on the lake so hopefully Grandpa makes a sailor out of Aiden so he can take his Mama someday.
What does Sage do at the lake? He really wants to do things that he simply can't do...like walk out into the lake until he is in over his head. He thinks his Mama is a big fun sucker. But alas, my normally focused child with a long attention span can't focus on any one thing because there is simply too much to take in and too much space to roam. He swings for 2 seconds, rides the motorcycle for 2 seconds, plays on the beach for 2 seconds, tries out the merry-go-round for 2 seconds....you get the idea. Chasing him is super fun for Mama. I know my days of sitting in the hammock will come back and by then I'll probably be wishing for a toddler to chase. :)
