Loc Takes a Swim

Note: Big experiment since I can not watch video from here.

The two kid pools were Loc's playground for the morning. Watch him kick in this video! Bonnie just drags him around and around the edge. I'm hoping you can hear him laugh. He loves the water now after some big fears in Saigon.

His play involved throwing his plastic spoon or his shoes into the middle of the pool. Then he'd jump right off the ledge of the pool into the deep water where we'd catch him. Most of the time we got him before his head went under but a few times he surprised us and he got a mouthful. But he kept coming back for more and more.

Over all it was a very good morning. After waking up about 5 and taking a bottle, he awoke again about 7 in a great mood. Lots of laughs and giggles as we played hide and seek in the sheets, tickled him and just had fun. Then we walked around the apartment without shoes and monopolizing the remote control. He's ready for America!

Breakfast followed where we saw the other families and got caught up on their adventures. Then pool time for the three of us which was more fun than taking a bath.

It was also an important day for "giving up" some objects for a while. You'll see no hat on his head, his shoes are off and the always present tripod is put away. The stroller is hidden in the bathroom for the morning.

Bonnie and Loc are away at the U.S. Embassy getting Loc's visa approved. I know he'll do well at his first interview. His first time on U.S. soil!

I'll upload more photos to Flickr and move some over here. Thanks for all the comments.
