First Week of Summer Wrapup

It's been a nice summer break so far, one week in, although with the change in routine I'm finding it tough to complete a thought or a sentence, much less an entire blog post.  This morning I had to wrestle the computer away from them and set them up watching "Boot's First Bike."

Aliza's dance recital is this weekend and there have been several nights of rehearsals this week.

I'm so proud of my little dancer!  She is having a great time and not showing any signs of wanting to slow down, which is hard on the bank account, but I believe it's giving her confidence and poise and she's making great friends.

Vacation Bible School was a success, as far it went.  The boys only participated a tiny bit, but they loved the music and tolerated quite a bit of noise and commotion.  I noticed that the first couple of days both of them were busily pinching any kid they could reach, but by the last day of the week they were both walking right by kids without showing any aggression at all.  So that was wonderful to see.  The last couple of days they even enthusiastically allowed me to dress them to get ready to go to "bah-skoo."

Although now that that's over, if they could just do this every day, all day long, they'd be completely happy.

Alas, Temple Grandin would not approve.
