Friends! It's summer at the FFF and we are... loving it. (Also I wrote this post during a more optimistic moment and now I'm fighting the pessimism!)
After two summers of being at home and not much else, we were proactive this year and decided to get the kids signed up for something to cut down on their being home too much. Wally's pre-school did the work for us and offered an additional month for June which we went for and he finished on the 22nd. He has thrived in preschool. What a difference of a kid. He used to play by himself and not engage with the kids and now he has friends and best friends and knows colors and letters. He'll be starting Kindergarten this fall and we'll have both kids in the same school!
In July the kids will be at VBS for a week and we'll be in Coastal California for a week. I had big lofty goals for Cancun this year but I couldn't figure out the timing so the flights were too much by the time I got it together and opted out. Then we'll be home another week then... they start school August 15. Boom. Flash. That fast. Every single day this summer has flown by. Work. Camps. Schools. Fun.
We scraped by and got Alice signed up for art day camp for 3 weeks in June! She's made a pretty good buddy and her mom is cool too so we've had lots of park time together. Fills me right up that she gets to have a friend with her and that she looks forward to it. I never know with Alice what she's gonna like or how she's gonna react but she surprises me sometimes.
