When the boys were smaller, I did a pretty good job of writing down the things I wanted to remember at different stages of their development. I have gotten away from journaling on a regular basis, but there are a few things on my mind right now that I would like to capture in writing.
This has been the summer of preparing to launch Nathan into Kindergarten. We have made a lot of good memories with our family and friends, and there has been so much growth for both boys.
After spending the week in Cheraw, Nathan decided he no longer needed to sleep with a lamp on at night. Now, he sleeps with a very dim mini-lamp on his bedside table. This week he went to Kindergarten camp at his school, and after the first day he said he "couldn't wait for real Kindergarten to start!" He is happy about his teacher and his classroom and all that he thinks will happen at school.
Also, just yesterday he figured out how to put his head under water and really swim! He can swim atop the water and also go under for short periods of time all by himself. This is the same child who would not let his ears get wet a few months ago! I am amazed.
We have been trying to do a few of our favorite things before school starts. This week we visited the Reedy Creek Nature Preserve and the kids had it all to themselves for a little while before the crowds came in. They still like pretending they're on a camping trip and playing with the binoculars in the Nature Center. I love that this is a special place for them.
