Oh Summer Days...

I officially had my last day of school on Tuesday and we have very quickly settled into the enjoying lazy summer days as a family. So far (and we're only on Day 3!) Cayden has been to Sea World, the SD Zoo, and had his first early-evening run through the sprinklers with Mama. Being home with him is so wonderful and his growth, vocabulary, and ever-expanding concept of the world have kept me completely engaged and happy. I was just remarking to Thom yesterday what a different experience it will be staying home with him this summer, in comparison to last year. At 9-months, he was barely crawling and now I am running full speed and using the stroller to cut him off when I need him to stop him from going off road! Yes, I do occasionally take him down in the process, but sometimes it's the only option I've got!

This summer is full of plans: Gymventures class at the YMCA, swim lessons, trips to Daily Scoop for SnoCowns (light on the syrup, heavy on the ice), beach days, outings with the cousins and new friends, Cayden's first Symphony, and lots of family nap time I hope. I'm so fortunante to have a job, if I do have to be a working mother, where I have three months of the year off. No matter how hard teaching can get, you can't beat the
schedule! Oh summer, I love you!
