All in a day

This morning we woke up to a bit of a surprise.  When I went to let our dog, Brooke, outside I ran into a minor roadblock.  Colin's little pool had been moved from its original location here...

to right outside the back door here...

For reference here is how far the pool moved.

There are a few things to note here.  1. The pool was empty and flipped upside down when we went to bed.  2.  There was a serious wind/rain storm last night. 

I can't believe that the wind was able to pick up the pool from the patio and move it all the way up on to the deck right outside the door.  And look how much water was in the pool when we woke up.  Crazy!  I can't believe it didn't make more noise.  I certainly heard the storm last night but I for sure didn't realize exactly how powerful the wind really was.

We have been wanting to do something special with Colin before the new baby gets here so this afternoon we went to the Cardinals game.  We kept telling Colin that we were going to the game but I don't think he really understood what we were talking about. 

Look how surprised he looks here.  This is right after he saw the field for the first time.

What is it about a Father and Son at a baseball game that is so stinking cute?  I just couldn't get enough of these two today.

Even when he isn't smiling I think he is still so cute!  This little face melts my heart.

Colin was so well behaved at the game!  We were able to sit in our seats for 5 full innings.  Actually it was Keith and I who were really ready to leave (well maybe more me... remember I'm 9 months pregnant).  It was pretty hot out today so it didn't take too long for us to get our fill.  I was really amazed that Colin was willing to sit relatively still for so long.  But even more impressive then that... he went pee on the potty not once but twice at the game!!  While we were watching the game he looked at me and said 'pee pee' so I took him to the bathroom as quickly as possible and he went!  So incredible!  He has been doing really well with potty training while we are at home but for him to do so well while we are out in public was taking things to a whole new level.  I know we have a long way to go before he is fully potty trained I have to say that I am so proud of our little guy and his big achievements today!
