Wednesday at daycare is water day.

Sidenote: I wish my work had water day!

This water day is new to me. I didn't even know it exsisted until the Tuesday before the first water day... and the note sent home said "don't forget WATER DAY TOMORROW! bring swimmers, towel, and swimsuit."

What happened on Wed... of course, I totally forgot. I am so terrible, I did not even remember until around 10am. To be honest, I thought, oh well... he will be fine. Well Pol called at some point and I told him about my absentmindedness. Pol was like "'WHAT? Will Liam just be sitting off to the side all by himself?!?" I said, "I reckon... he'll be fine."

Sidenote: pol is a good daddy

Pol leaves work at lunch, goes to two different stores looking for swimmers diapers. Finds swimmers, runs by the house, finds Liam's swimsuit and grabs a towel. Rushes to daycare with the water wardrobe. Whew... Liam didn't have to sit on the sidelines while all the other kids romp around in the H2O! When I got home that night and saw the swimmers package, I said.. "Pol? These have The Little Mermaid all over them, did they not have boy swimmers?" Pol was like... "I couldn't find any others, I was in a hurry. " Forgiven.. plus, who sees the diapers anyway, they have swim suits on.

Sidenote: No. No they do not wear swimsuits.

For a few weeks now I have been sending my son to water day with his girly swimmers, not really thinking anything of it (because they are covered up... right? RIGHT? Then... Pol came home yesterday and said we have to watch the 6 o'clock news, Holly Street is going to be on because of some story.

Another Sidenote: nothing bad, but Holly Street is like the #1 daycare in nashville, so they were using them as an example of greatness. or something like that

We watch the news... and suddenly I realize, these little people all run around pretty much naked, minus the swimmer diapers. No swim trunks at all.... just Ariel tattooed on Liam's toushie for the world to see. So there it is... my son is running around daycare in Princess diapers. Don't get me wrong... he's man enough to pull it off. But I might have to run to Target this weekend and buy some Nemo swimmers and keep the sea Princess swimmers for swim time at home, alone.

Last Sidenote: Yes, Liam we will pay for the counseling.
