So the background of this story is that Joey can't go swimming in the pool because it makes him itchy. So we've been going to the pool to watch Jacob swim, but Joey can't go in. Joey will pretend that he is swimming in the bath tub, even trying to jump in to the tub, just like Jacob.
So Joe and I decided to go to Hawaii for our family vacation this year, mainly so Joey can swim in the ocean. We also told Joey that he will be able to swim when we go to Hawaii.
Last night, we went to Diver Dan's to get some scuba gear for us and the kids. Joe wanted the kids to have wet suits (shortys) in case the water is still too cold. At Diver Dan's, they didn't have Joey's size, only had them for Jacob.
While Jacob was trying on the shorty, Joey told me, mommy, I want to take off my clothes too. I want to try on the swimming suit. I replied, "Joey, they don't have your size here, we have to go to another store to look for a swimming suit for you." Joey said "OK".
As we were in our car going home, Joey started crying in the back seat. "Mommy, I don't want to go home, I want to go to the baby store!"
Mom: What baby store?
Joey: The baby store with swimming suit.
Mom: Oh Joey, it's too late now, the store is closed. We can go there tomorrow.
Joey cries even harder: I want to buy my swimming suit.
Once we got home, we let Joey put on his rash guard, and he was happy again. But all of a sudden, he started crying again.
Mom: What's wrong Joey?
Joey: I want to go to Hawaii now. I want to go swimming.

what, are you scuba diving now?
Helen scuba dive? Yeah right.
Hey, Joe and I went scuba diving on our honeymoon. It was okay, but I had problems with pressure with my ears.
I hope Joey gets his wet suit. Poor baby...
Yes, he got a wet suit, a suit with built-in floatie, and a once piece rash guard. Plus he already has two rash guards at home. So he will be able to wear a different swimming suit everyday while we are in Hawaii.
