Our Monster gets me!

I know I haven't updated in awhile but life has happened once again:)
Our little Monster is growing so quickly.
Trying to adjust to the Georgia summer....had to buy a pool. Too hot to be outside without water! Not only does Alex love it, it is big enough for Mommy! So much water fun...but one moment sticks out in my mind. I was outside playing with Alex in the pool one day after lunch. For the first time I let him play with the running hose. Then I teach him how to drink from the hose in case he's thirsty. I get the brilliant idea to kink the hose as Alex goes to drink from it. He looks at the hose puzzled...shakes it and point's it straight at his face to look down the hose. ............ I couldn't resist the opportunity to douse my child with water. I let go of the hose and he is instantaneously hit with a spray of water! His eyes are huge, he shakes it off and laughs. A couple minutes go by and he decides to drink from it again. I kink the hose again, hoping to get the same affect. I let go and start laughing so hard my eyes shut....I open them just in time to see the hose pointed directly at me, with little smiling eyes beyond it. I should mention I was not dressed for the pool that day fully clothed! The water hits me, I jump up screaming and dancing around like a retarded chicken, I grab the hose and look at my child who is on the ground laughing so hard he couldn't stand up any more. The laugh that was coming out of him was so infectious I couldn't help but start laughing with him! One of the greatest moments with Alex I was so proud of him...he may look like Daddy but he's got his Mommy's sense of humor!
