Well today was was the start of summer school for my youngest DS. He seemed to enjoy the experience and since it's only a half day of instruction, he didn't seem to mind it too much. However, he did realize that our church's Vacation Bible School was a time conflict with summer school. (He realized this about a week ago). He proceeded to tell me "You shouldn't have signed me up for summer school!" How do you tell him that I didn't really have a choice?!
VBS has started and I'm getting my baby fix. I'm in the room with the bed babies. We have a 14 mo. old boy and a 4 mo. old girl. Since I only have boys of my own, the baby girl thing is lots of fun. She was a hoot today and make me wish I'd started having kids sooner, when I was younger. Ah well....
Next week will see my oldest DS off to a digital photography class for the majority of the week. A chance for him to grown and shine some. He's really had some major achievements since school was out. First, the stress of school was off him and he's a completely different child. Happy, laughing, joking (at times at his own expense -- a first!) and generally the sweet, sensitive guy that I remember from years past that I thought had gone underground with the approaching tween years. Then we learned that he's now taller than I am (not a *major* accomplishment, since I'm not a giant, but still big in his book). And he's just kind of decided that he can help around the house and it won't kill him.
Who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth?
I took my DH's recent road trip as an opportunity to attack that pit that he calls an office and do some major cleaning. Even if no one else in the world can tell I worked in there (and you probably could tell), I know that it's better and that feeling is nice. A step in the right direction, I can do anything 15 minutes at a time...
Just as my youngest DS will learn to read and write....and the eldest will learn to take amazing pictures....a little bit at a time.
