The big kid spend the summer with my parents. On a trip that I didn't necessarily want him to go on. Not because of anything to do with my parents. But because I didn't want to let my baby go. My parents took him to my sister's house. Her and her husband run a camp. So my parents got an rv and they roadtripped it all the way to Massachusetts. I was the nervous mama bear. My big kid was 11 years old and had never been away from home for more than a few days. And this trip was 31 days.
And of course, he got hurt at camp. Nothing like that feeling of your heart dropping to your stomach when you get a phone call saying they are transporting your kid to the closest urgent care. It was nothing major, just a pulled tendon and hyperextension of the wrist.
So the summer was basically just me and toddler. We had plenty to do. Speech therapy. Swim lessons. And preschool. We went to the movies and on playdates. And we found out about his ears. I'll post about that later. It's going to be a long post. And we're not quite done with that issue yet.
Right after the big kid got home, we restarted 4-H for the 2016/2017 year. We went school shopping. And then a wildfire started. And he missed 3 days. 2 for the fire. And 1 for a family wedding. When we got back from the wedding, another wildfire popped up. And he missed 3 more days last week. So here we are in week 3 of school and he's only been there 4 days. Here's to a relatively uneventful rest of the school year.
And I'm going to be honest here. I'm not sure how much I'll actually be blogging. It's going to be a busy year. The last year of elementary school. A big year in 4-H. I somehow got talked into be the co-community leader of our 4-H group. I'm also learning sign language. And the big kid is still interested karate and robotics. So I'm going to assume that we're all going to be busy this year.
