Flip Flop Flop

Elissa was kind enough to take Dexy with her and Ian to Ian's swimming lesson while I had a research lab meeting yesterday afternoon (again, I thank God that I have Elissa in my life!).  When we met up for dinner afterwards, Elissa couldn't contain her giggles as she told me about Dexter's experience with flip flops (apparently necessary attire at the pool). At first, Dexy didn't want to take his socks off so she was jamming his sock between his first and second toes to get the flip flop on.  Then he decided that he would do it without socks and Ian helped him get them on (pictured). But the funniest part was how Dexter walked (or waddled) in them.  Elissa said he looked ridiculous trying to get the hang of flipping and flopping (Dexter later told me that the flip flops made him "walk like a penguin"). She said that he had to go potty while they were at the pool so he had to walk a lot (to the bathroom and back) in the flip flops - she could barely keep it together it was so funny looking.  Dexy even went up to the lifeguard to let him know that the flip flops made him "waddle". Looks like we're going to have to get in some flip flop practice this summer!
