A-B-C-D

The end of a very long and full day. Needless to say, the Bub had a blast at summer school. As soon as I picked him up, he was breathless to tell me about the subtle differences between the short A and the long A sounds. I was thoroughly impressed by the take-home worksheet that included his hand cutouts of things with "short/long A"s (I was worried about his scissor skills under pressure)... and was proud that he'd written his name without me there to coach him along (save the backwards G). Surprise, surprise... he can't wait to go back tomorrow.

We followed that home run with lunch and books at Central Market where we ran into one of his friends and there were Swedish Fish all around to cheers the morning. Soon after, we dashed off to swimming where he regaled the class with his trickster antics but was still able to swim with "big arms" like a pro. After a dinner of cold cucumber soup and homemade pizza, the Hub/Bub and I headed off to the pool where we ran into his BBF who shared a swim and an ice cream with the Bub before we whisked him off to bed with a glass of water and a full reading of Elmer and the Dragon.

In the immortal words of Alfred E. Neuman, "What, me worry?"

Ha!

Sleep tight little prince, for tomorrow is another day.

Oh so pleased it went well. Tomorrow is another day and don't be surprised if he doesn't want to go. With kids - expect the unexpected!
You deserve that award by the way.
