Last year's summer break was much less of a break for me than I had hoped for. I was completely unprepared for what it meant to have a full time student (used to structure amd routime) home all day with a toddler (pretty much just run around, play with toys, read books). This year I know what I'm getting myself into... I think.
Both boys are a year older, wiser, smarter, and more responsible (and they fight like it too). I let Aiden 'choose' his summer activities to fill a few mornings a week, and Connor is pretty much happy with a tractor and some dirt, so he'll be good when, or if, it stops raining.
My expectations for completing projects this summer are a bit lower, but my expextations for enjoying the summer are MUCH higher. My plan is to use this blog to remember all the fun, naughty but humurous, and adorable things an almost 3 and almost 7 year old boy can get themselves into. (Oh, and a schedule LOL... or more so guidelines as to when they get to eat, watch tv, and have other screen time.)
This morning Aiden helped make waffles for breakfast, then the boys built a tent in the toy room. It has a toy room, living room, and the couch was the bed. They spent a good hour cramming as many toys in the toy room as possible, playing with said toys, and running out to tell me how cool their tent was.
This afternoon Aiden is hanging out at great grandma's most likely reading books, building lego spaceships, and showing off his bike riding skills.
