Can you believe it??

WOW!!! Summer is nearly over.... We didn't make it to the beach but the Quarry was awesome, I would do that over the beach any day.  

We have spent a better part of the month trying new foods.... well not NEW foods but foods that "someone" just refuses and therefore making school lunches almost impossible... if not impossible at the very least super boring and he still won't eat them.  So far it's a win with Hummus and Banana bread chocolate chip cookies
 Mmmm those cookies didn't last long here. I actually missed a photo opt with the plate full of cookies and little bites taken out of them (ALL of them!).  I know, I know... I missed taking a picture.  

Aside from the food drama, he had his last week with his ABA Therapist, who got a new job, so that's been fun and now getting close to school starting to which he has said he's not going. You guessed it, that's been extra fun!  It'll be all good soon so we're just coasting through and trying to enjoy what's left of the summer. 

Hopefully one more round of blueberry picking in this week and a meeting at school to see his new classroom. That should help the getting ready for school part. 

Other super exciting things in the world of Boy-o, his new race car bed. He LOVES it and of course the Lightning Mcqueen sheets to boot.  Also, meeting his new cousin "B" who he happily calls the "dancing baby" after he suggested I put her away in a box when I was holding her.  Good thing there are no more babies in my future ;)    

I guess that was summer.  How are you getting ready for back to school??

August already!

I can't believe how fast this summer seems to be going. We're in August.... Seriously???

We've had a pretty good summer so far with lots of outside fun.  This really has been Jaelon's best year, I could  happy cry ALL the time. He's just such a different kid it's amazing, I'm so proud of him (and secretly  me).  It's such an incredible change that I can see but then I really see it when someone else mentions it.  Another reason why this summer has been so great.

What has everyone been up to??  We went blueberry picking for the first time, it was a great day and  hoping to get back. 9 1/4 lbs of blueberries..... How much do you think we have left?  Two medium size freezer bags and that's it.  Hopefully we'll make it back out for more, I haven't even done any baking with them.

A sad moment was selling our bike trailer. It's like the last of the "baby" stuff. Yes, I did cry. 

Moving along... We also had a fantastic fun filled day at the Quarry, this was the first year he willingly went in the water, jumping off diving boards, swimming out to the raft and going down the slide. At one point he had an audience cheering him on every time he jumped off the diving board.  It was such an amazing thing to watch, we're planning another trip there as well. 

I'm happy to say that we've had a great summer, sad to see it come to an end but looking forward to school starting and hopefully his I.B.I. will officially start in the fall.  

Until next time.
