Diving head first into his first date

Akins has already made a hit with some of the other families at swimming lessons. They already know he has no fear and wait to see what he will do when asked to jump from the diving board or slide. This is him diving head first off the diving board and then straight into his first date on Valentine's Day with Grandma...

For Valentine's Day I had told Akins that he should invite Grandma to be his date (her idea) so a few days before he says "will you be my Valentine Grandma"? She's thrilled of course and so they laid plans to go out on a little date thus allowing me and Lorea some adult one on one - the first in six months I might add. I then told Akins that when Lorea picked him up after school she was going to take him to get Grandma some flowers and that Grandma really likes pink so if they had pink ones that would make her really happy. Lorea comes and off they go to the store and they are looking and they did not have exactly a pink bouquet at least not ALL pink and he was having none of it. Everything is very literally with him. I said pink and so no combination of anything other would do. Alas, as Lorea was getting nervous there were some more flowers in another part of the store and so pink it was - he jumped up and down yelling "pink, pink, pink"! We set everything up pretty so when Grandma picked him up and they came into the house he could present her with her flowers, a card, and a bag he had made her. He was very excited. They went to dinner and were bathed and snuggled on the couch when we got home from our date. Akins scored some gifts from Grandma too - now the video.
