Rocket!!
This weekend Cole had his first sleep over with a friend from school. Rocket the "Two's Room" Guinea Pig came home with Cole on Friday and has been enjoying a nice summer weekend in Burbank :)
Cole has been helping to feed and pet Rocket while he is in his new surroundings. Rocket is very gentle and doesn't bite or scratch when being held. We made sure his food and water were filled all weekend and also gave him lots of extra treats like lettuce, carrots and apples.
We think Rocket enjoyed his weekend and perhaps in the future he will come back to pay us another visit.
Here are some pictures from his visit.

Swim Lesson #1
Cole started swim lessons today. He is taking private lessons from teacher Alex, a Burbank High student who is on the swim team and is a local lifeguard.
Cole is always a bit shy with new people and teacher Alex was no different. The first 10 min or so of the lesson was convincing Cole to get in the pool with a stranger. But Alex was very patient and finally coaxed him in to the water. After that they played a toss and fetch game where Cole would throw a floating item and jump off the step to Alex and they would "swim" over to get it. Cole worked on his kicking and near the end of the lesson even went under water. Going under freaked him out a bit but it was a great start.
Cole had a great time and has been talking about it since. Can't wait to go back!!!
Here are some pics from the big first day.
