summer break 2009 - week 1, day 1 - monday!
inspired by my bff lees and her daily spring break journaling, as a promise (to myself), i am going to record each & every day of my summer vacation! if i had enough energy i would have done a "summer daily" album. maybe next year? breaks are so dear to my heart because i get to spend true quality time with my family. there's no need to rush in the morning, i can make them REAL meals, i can walk g & e to the park, we can take our time. oh, how i love these breaks!
day 1 - as usual, we got up at 7am (well, the kids did, then they woke us up). so much for sleeping in...i'm trying to keep the kids on schedule though, so i guess this is not an option. i made g & e their typical toast for breakfast (forgot we had to be somewhere) & since i am trying to watch what i eat (ha!) i had coffee.
i enrolled g in a 5-week reading program through sdsu's college of extended studies. it focuses on phonics, comprehension, and independent reading skills. the class requires one parent to be present, so i was able to experience what it's like being in a classroom with g. i tell you - there is such a big difference between boys & girls at this young age! the girls were much more verbal, more outgoing. if you know g, you know that he is extremely shy - and it's so much more in the classroom. i can tell you this though - i am so glad i have taught him manners because most of the kids (and parents!) didn't have any, but that's a whole other talkshow...oh well. five more weeks of class and homework (great)...the good thing is he enjoys it very much and he insists we listen to the cd everytime we're in the car (wait, is that a good thing? :)
since i had some time between class & my optometrist appt, g & i had lunch at panera - he was so upset because he wanted "just a snack". when i asked him what he wanted he said "an ice cream sandwich". um, me too gavin. we walked around the mall, found a cute summer scarf at anthropologie (yes, i returned ALL 3 dresses, lees!), and was off to my appt.
the rest of the day was uneventful..we cleaned up, read (too many books!), played, lounged around - everything a break should be :)
