Now that he is out of school too, he's discovered that Mommy isn't letting him off the hook and he's stuck doing summer work in the morning. He's gotten used to it and has embraced the idea of "new" workbooks and his "new" marker board that he practices his math and letters on. He's doing awesome at it and the electric pencil sharpener helps. It's amazing how anything that is "just like at real school" helps. If only he'd stop thinking that eleventeen was a number.
When Daddy comes home, I try to keep the honey-do list to a reasonable length so that he can just enjoy being with his family, since he doesn't get to be with us all that often. But, every so often, he does have to work, just a little.
Who can help it, if it's fun to work with the boy?
Recently, when Daddy was home Collin had to show him how much better he was at riding all of his various outdoor toys, including his bike. He was so proud.
I'm waiting to see, as he grows up, if every time he's concentrating, his tongue hangs out like that. It's so stinking cute.
The next few times he goes to karate, I'll have to take some pictures because I don't think I've ever seen him so excited and so focused. That tongue pretty much hangs out the whole time, like a thirsty labrador. And he's doing really well. He remembered some pretty long moves last time when the kids were sparring. It's kind of fun to watch.
And, Daddy comes home again in a few days to go on...wait for it...vacation! We are going on a short trip and I'm so excited. What a fun summer vacation already!
