I was going to wait til next week to write this blog. Haven't written anything in a long time. Since their birthday anyway.
Summer's almost over. School starts in a week. For the most part this has been a very good summer. For those of you who know, last summer was awful. We were having medication problems. Couldn't get Steven's meds figured out. He was having horrible meltdowns almost on a daily basis. Grandma had to get medication of her own to help her cope. When I went to sign the twins up for school last year, I cried to their teacher. I don't cry.
Now skip ahead to this summer. Not perfect. But what is is this world? But good. So much better than the last. Our biggest problem this summer was probably the fact that Steven almost always has a friend to play with, and Baileigh rarely does. We need a little girl for a neighbor.
But Baileigh and I have become good buddies. We did lots of crafts and baking. She helped with Reese and housework. She became an excellent reader.
It was also a busy summer. We had two vacations. One with the Rigg family down to St. Louis for three days. We went to the Zoo, The Science Center, (which didn't thrill us), and The Children's Museum, which did thrill us. We also went to Fort Knox, KY to visit their Aunt, Uncle, and their two cousin for five whole days. We had a lot of fun there too.
Along with our vacations we had Church Camp, which they went to by themselves, a first for them and Grandma; V.B.S., the Beardstown Park Districts Nature Camp, Story hour at the Library, and our very favorite extra curricular activity - Horse back riding lessons. We're not quite done with those yet.
And the greatest thing of all, we have had very few behavioural problems. One would pop up now and then, but those are easily coped with.
So summer's almost over, and while we are glad to have school start again, we are also glad to have had such a good vacation. Hope you all can say the same.
