Vacation

A very nice surprise last weekend - we got to go the beach. Nancy and Terry had us down to the beach house Sunday through Tuesday. I THOUGHT you would love the beach and the water since you love the pool. Needless to say though, not your favorite time. The sand did not bother you but I think it was the heat. Being around 100* both days you were just exhausted, plus working on your clean out process, and also still adjusting to the ADHD medication. It was nice though to spend some time with Nancy and Terry away from home, to sit out in the sun, and just get away from our daily routine.

There were moments when you would run in and out of the water and you did find amusement in chasing the birds along the beach! The first day after two hours of sitting and just watching you played for about two hours but on the second day after only about an hour you fell fast asleep on the beach under the umbrella. This lasted about an hour before you were suddenly awoken because high tide had come up and actually covered you! I guess we need to be a little more careful with this next time :)

Tuesday you start preschool - fingers are crossed this will be a good experience. I know you can do, we all know you can do it. It is just a matter of whether or not you decide to do it. You will have to follow the rules and play nice with others. You will have a shadow there to help you which the school is happy about and they are very open to having you in the class, that is, if you do not cause to much of a disruption. I am hoping after the first week, when you realize your tantrums will not get you anything, you will settle in and fall right in line with the other 18 children who are in your class.

Your birthday is next week. It is hard to believe you will be six. We will do a small family celebration but will have your party in October after you have a chance to settle into school so we can invite some friends (hopefully you will have made some :)

Love you baby
