The little notebook I carry around with me has been filling up with Cole's witticisms, so as I mentioned in my first post of this month, I would be blogging each week about some of them. Here we go:

Each Tuesday Cole has swimming lessons and each week we have some time to wait for his class to begin after he gets changed. I hate to watch the kids rushing in with their frazzled parents who are shooing them along. Though I understand sometimes things make you late, anyone who knows me well knows that being late regularly in my eyes is unacceptable; especially when your kids are the ones dealing with the consequences. Anyhow I digress; Cole and I wait in the flimsy plastic chairs that line the pool perimeter and watch the earlier classes finishing up. Each session one of the instructors becomes the supervisor for 12 weeks and walks around and observes the nine individual classes simultaneously taking place. They wear a distinct FOSS blue shirt and tan shorts. Cole had asked me quite awhile ago who that was, what they were doing and why. This particular week as Cole was waiting patiently, the guy who is acting as supervisor this session walked by us. Cole blurts out, "hey mom, that is the super guy". I chuckled as Ian turned around and gave him a big smile having obviously heard him and knowing what he meant to say!

Driving home from school one day, we heard the radio ad for the upcoming Twin Cities Home and Garden show. Cole later saw a TV commercial for it and made mention that we had just heard about that a few hours earlier on the radio. Later that evening as Cole and I were reading bedtime books, we finished a book about recycling and trash since he was learning about that at school with Earth Day approaching. As I closed the book, Cole pipes up "Mom, I hope they recycle at the Home and Garbage Show?" :-)
