This coming weekend I’m sending the kiddo to my mom’s house. He’s got a 3 day weekend because of Memorial Day, and I’m taking full advantage of that. I adore my little man, but even the best moms in the world need a break every now and then. Not that I’m the best, or even close, lol. Anyway, I can’t believe school year is so close to being over. It seems like it flew by. I also can’t believe my baby is going to 3rd grade next year. It’s crazy. I still remember the day he started kindergarten. He was so excited, but I cried my eyes out. I had considered home schooling him at first, and although I might have enjoyed it, I think he benefits from being around kids his own age. The one thing about being homeschooled is missing out on social interaction, which in all honesty could be detrimental to a child’s development. I’m not knocking you homeschooling moms out there. It’s just a personal belief.

It’s been so hot out that Eric hasn’t wanted to spend much time outside. He’s out riding his bike with his little friends right now, but it’s after 7, so the sun isn’t quite as high in the sky and it’s not as hot out there. It’s been getting over 100 everyday and I’m hating it. I just don’t want him spending all of his time indoors, not getting any exercise. Thankfully he will be taking swimming lessons this summer. That reminds me, I have to register him for that next week.

He’s been asking me if he can have a livejournal account or if I can set him up a type of “online journal”. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but he says that they have little journals that they update during computer lab. I’ll have to give it some thought.
