Back from the Beach

Sasha and his attendants have returned from their summer vacation and-- who knew?-- he loves the ocean! He was easily distracted from shoveling fistfuls of sand into his mouth by his cousin, by the bucket and shovel, and by going into the water with whoever might carry him. Laughing, kicking, splashing-- he even took some dunks with Mama and Zayde, too! I'm not sure how he felt about going under, but he didn't complain so I guess that's a thumbs-up.

Again, the Bub couldn't get enough of his cousin, the walking and talking wonder. I think his smile actually gets bigger as he gets physically closer to her. Until she wants the toy he's playing with. But with a little encouragement, she shared nicely and is amazingly gentle with him even when he yanks on her hair.

Here are pictures of them playing on the deck in their "swimming pools."

  1. What a fun post! Glad the Bub likes the water and his cousin! Is she one of Nerdy's siblings' kids?
