Well, Joey continues to ’seek and destroy’. Last week, he took out the gate door and lamp (he just knocked them over – no damage was done to him, or the lamp and gate door).
Today, I was in the kitchen and CRASH! He took down one of the end tables. He has a little bruise on his leg, but he is fine. I think he has learned that he is going to crash, a lot -he gets over his spills quickly (because he is the third?)
Mel did not get to head (no pun intended) up to Maine with the MA crew, as she has a nice case of lice – blech. I’ve never done so much laundry and vacuuming!
I think we are getting it under control. Not a fun thing to go through.
I have some pictures up on the web gallery. Mel had her swim competition last Thursday. She did well for the group she was in. She will barely get her face in the water and she was in a group with kids who knew how to swim freestyle?!?! She was sad she did not win a medal – she received two participant ribbons. We’ll sign her up this winter for swim lessons! I think she’ll appreciate that next summer.
It is hard to believe that July is almost over and then we just have 4 weeks and school will start up again! Wow. Still contemplating what to do with Mel. I talked to her school principal who thinks she’ll do great in 1st grade. I have a very disturbing gut feeling that it is not what we should be doing for her. I will be speaking with the Director of the local Montessori school tomorrow. They have an elementary school. After reading about the school, I’m very interested.
Chuck is on the fence. My gut is really eating away at me! I always trust my gut – always.
We’ll see how things go.
Chuck has been crazy busy.
(carried over from another day).
We are planning on heading to the beach for 10 days. I need to get on the stick. I want to get a photographer out there to take a family picture. I also need to get a babysitter, so I can enjoy the beach with jules and mel- he is too crazy!!!! (well, Jules is, too, but at least she listens to me (sometimes)).
