The Beach, Pool, Soccer, Haircut and a Minor Treadmill-Induced Injury

My Momma's best friend from her childhood (Deidra) came to town with her kids for a visit and brought my new best friend, Adayja.  We spent the day at the beach and had a groovy time.


Although I'm already an expert swimmer (in my mini bathtub), my Mom insists that I take swimming lessons a couple of times per week.  Coach Brian has me on a rigorous 20-minute workout schedule, two times per week (I'm ripped), with grueling drills such as dunking my head under water and tolerating silly lobster squirt toys.

Just call me Dexter Phelps.

Post-swim lesson celebration.  Respect the hood towel.
Coach Brian recommends that I stretch after swim lessons.  In typical D-Man fashion, I take it up a notch and stretch in my own unique way.

Feel the burn.  The upside down burn.
After the upside down stretching, I like to blow off some steam and take a spin around the cul-de-sac at an insanely high rate of speed, all the while showing off my ridiculous swimmer's body.  Visual evidence is below.

You want some of this?  Just try and keep up.
In an effort to speed up my swimming sprints, my Daddy suggested that I cut my hair, which, I've been told, is a bit too long (what's a "mullet"?).  My Daddy used his hair clippers to clip my locks.

I am VERY happy with my new haircut.
Lola, check out my new haircut! (where are my pants?!)
My Auntie Yvonne had a soccer tournament over the weekend.  They were short a player.  I'm a short player.  Naturally, we won the tournament.  A high speed camera was able to catch me in action.

Bend it like Dexter.
My Daddy was trying on some new running shoes and I wanted to give the treadmill a whirl.  I crawled in the wrong direction (apparently, the treadmill is a one-way road).  End result: Boo-boo on my nose, as evidenced below (if you look closely).

Chicks dig itty-bitty nose scars.  Right?

Until next time....Dexter out.
