Just learned that I did not get the wound team job at KUMed. I am sad, but also I my last shift at St. Mary's they let me float to Mother-Baby. I don't want to work there, but it is fun to work at a hospital where I can get experience doing a lot of different things. I am going to try to float to ICU and ER too.  Will get some shifts in at KU to keep my place there until something good pops up or maybe not.

Me: Zach, do NOT swing from the towel bar. That is not strong enough to hold you.
Zach: I'm not swinging. Those are my dance movies.

Zach:   F____,    F____,   F____,   F____
Mike and ME: trying not to laugh in shock
Mike: Zach, that is not a nice word to say.
Zach: I like saying it.  F____!   It is fun!
Mike and me: That is really not a nice word. Sometimes Daddies say things that little boys shouldn't repeat.
Zach: silence

Not sure if silence is acceptance or he is thinking we are full of it.  At least Miss Stephanie teaches him some manners.

Mike burped in the car yesterday and said, "Excuse me."
Zach said, "I'm so proud of you Daddy."

Zach likes smoke bombs, and poppers. The rest of the fireworks - not so much.

Grandpa made Zach a map to Leech Lake. It had three pages and looked like a book.  It had the stinky pig farm area, airplanes on sticks and the potato farm among other landmarks.  Zach didn't quite understand it at first, but when we got in the car he really liked it -- even if it was upside down.

I took Zach to the Legacy Park Community Center pool tonight. It has a large area for little kids with slides, fountains, sprays and other water games. He is at a stage where he does not like anything that is loud. The Legacy Pool was very loud. He held his hands over his ears. We were able to find a table on the quieter lap swim side. I got in the water and showed him some tricks. He giggled, and decided to try the first step.  After a while, he was ready to try the kids area. I have never heard him squeal so much. He was so excited. He loved the frog head with the pink tongue slide. I caught him the first couple trips down, then he did the full splash in the water.  We'll have to go back soon.

We tried the Powell Garden's fireworks last night. Even with the gun mufflers on, he did not like the loud bangs. We left pretty much right away, but we got there late and didn't have to pay, so that worked out pretty good. We may try the Lee's Summit fireworks from the car, so he can see that they are pretty, but it is going to take some convincing to get me to take him to an outdoor display again next year.

Also, it is hotter than hell here.
