Remember like, 2.2 seconds ago when I was posting that I was so nervous about Jonah going to summer school?
Well. Turns out that time really does fly. That was six weeks ago, and today is Jonah’s last day of “Summer Science Lab”.
Neither of us are particularly happy about it! He LOVES going and I think would be content to keep on keepin’ on, and having him happily occupied 4 hours a day 4 days a week has helped me have a much better summer with my big kids than I usually do. HOWEVER, I am not going to miss setting my alarm for 6:45 am 4 days a week during the summer. Whew, that was rough.
Honestly, I am SO thrilled with how Jonah did in this program. He had fun, he learned a lot, and his speech has just exploded the past 2-3 weeks. They don’t work on his speech at this program, but just being with so many “typical” peers has been so good for him! I can’t believe all the millions of things he’s been saying the past few weeks. If you are my Facebook friend you’ve had the privilege of reading some of them. (Lucky you!) My recent favorite took place while we were in the car. He said, “I gotta hurry! I wanna hurry!” (I have never heard him use that word before.) I said, “Why, Jonah?” and he said “I gotta go home and play toys.”
Needless to say, I stepped on the gas! 🙂
So anyway. I am rambling a bit here. But the gist of it is, I am sad that summer school is over, but I’m looking forward to maybe sleeping in a little (dare I dream of 7:30??) and having some lazy fun these last 4 weeks of summer with my babies.
Although it would be helpful if it would warm the heck up. It’s July 16th, my AC is off, and I’m WEARING A SWEATER as I type this. Huh? Needless to say the solid gold I plunked down for the pool membership is getting wasted this month!
I <3 Summer School and I’m so glad I took the plunge and signed Jonah up. How about you? How are you keeping the kiddos busy this summer?
This summer is flying by! We have kings island passes this year and zoo passes. But having a one year old and an almost 6 year old is kind of tough. I loved nap time when my oldest was little. But now it’s hard to schedule around.
Anyways, I’m still hoping to make it to Wegerzyn gardens, youngs dairy, and a few more parks.
I made mine get jobs, after all, they’re 29 and 25! BTW, What’s a summer vacation?
