As the weeks go by, the kids fall into summer routine with ease. Kaylee has started waking up at 4:30am and not going back to sleep. This pattern I'd like to change, but struggle with how to effectively do it. So that is my goal for this next week, to push her bedtime a little later, move her naps a little. Which hopefully will ultimately result in a later bedtime and a later wake time. Here's to hoping.
Tyler starts summer camp July 11th for his first week. Then we will be going to BrewFest and then heading camping the following week. After that Tyler will go to his second week of camp, then a week of nothing, then his final week of camp. Julie is doing Tae Kwon Do this summer, and is loving it. As sad as I am about her giving up ballet, if she loves Tae Kwon Do I'll be happy to see her stick with it. Tyler has talked about doing it in the Fall, I hope he does, will help keep him active when he's not in soccer.
Julie has mentioned wanting to get into soccer next year too. So we will see, maybe put her in Voltage too, who knows. I'd like to see her try out the schools soccer before we pay to put her in a league though.
It's interesting to hear how they view things and how they feel about things. What else is interesting is who they choose to tell their real feelings too. They are closed books to most, guarded and protective of their feelings. Sharing them with only a select few. The trust of a child is something that can easily be lost, and hard to gain back.
I love watching my babies grow. They are all beautiful in their own way. Helpful, thoughtful and mostly obedient, I couldn't ask for better kids.
I go to the doctors this week for testing to find out what is causing my mouth sores. I'm hoping they find something, because the periodontist said she doesn't know what we'll do if they don't find anything. I worry a little, and hope for something that isn't serious. All I can do is wait and hope though, so that's what I'm doing.
The days go by like they always do. Sometimes it's rain, sometimes it's sunshine, but time still passes. Tyler will be 11 soon and miss Kaylee is going to be 1. Julie in the Fall will be 9. Some days I still can't believe how fast time is really going. How some days seem to go by so slow, but then we blink and years have gone by. Babies are kids, kids are young adults, and young adults have become grown. We think where has time gone? I guess all we can do is make the most of each day. Love with patience and understanding, and hug them while it's still not embarrassing for them for us to hug them.
Well that's the update. So I'm headed back to love like there is no tomorrow, and live it up today.
