The kiddo is at his first ever “Mini Gourmet” cooking class. It’s this class I enrolled him in at the beginning of the summer. It lasts for 2 hours. I gave him some money for the soda and snack machine as well as his rec room card so if he wants to stay up there after the class is over and play some games or whatever he can. Anyway, we were almost late for the class. I woke up early this morning, but I woke up sick. My throat hurts terribly and I’ve lost my voice. I was coughing up blood this morning, but I’m sure it’s just from my throat. I decided since it was really early I’d go back to bed for a few, thinking I’d wake up in time. And I did wake up in time, barely. Nonetheless he made it there in time and hopefully he’s having great fun. That’s what it’s all about anyway. It’s summer time and I want him to have fun.
Last week I took him and his friend to the rec center (or community center) to play some games and stuff and they ended up staying for hours. He had alot of fun then apparently. There’s lots of fun stuff for the kids to do there, and there’s also a gym and a nature center. I also took him and his friend on Friday night to play Pizza Bingo up there. The kids got to play bingo and eat pizza, which was pretty cool. They had a good time. 
I’ve been sticking to the reading thing for the most part. He’s currently reading book 2 of The Chronicles of Narnia. He seems to be enjoying it. Tonight is also our “movie night” and I’ve gotten the Spiderwick Chronicles from Netflix. Eric picked that out, lol. Hopefully it’s good.
I really can’t believe he’s already half way through his summer vacation. I’ve got to start school clothes shopping soon and getting all of his needed supplies for 3rd grade. I just can’t believe it, 3rd grade!!! I’m actually going to be selling some of his old stuff on eBay I think. He’s got a pair of Van’s from last year that he wore once, and they are still basically brand new. He’s also got a winter coat that he wore twice. It’s Texas, it usually doesn’t get that cold here so he mostly wears hoodies and what not. But yeah, I guess I should start going through his old stuff. What fun.
My son is now 25 (omg, I can’t believe it!) and I miss the days you write about. I have so many snapshots of him in my head — these days are so precious, and go so fast. Your posts bring back those days for me, and it’s sweet. Thank you
Awe, you’re welcome! Just today my son wanted to give me “bunny kisses”. You know, where you kind of rub noses or whatever? Well it brought me back to when he was a baby. He loved doing that. I miss those days, and they go by so fast. I know pretty soon I’ll be saying the exact same thing you said.. “My son is now 25..”
Thank you for your sweet comment.
When my son was younger, we were lucky enough to have a Boy’s Club across the street from us. He loved it and it was cheap entertainment. Plus most of his friends lived in the neighborhood and hung out there also, so it was a good way for him to hang with his friends without the whole gang running through one mom or the other’s house…lol
I’m so happy he has something like this to spend his time, and it’s a safer environment in my opinion than just “playing outside”.
Aww I’m sorry you’re so sick hon. Get well soon! That’s awesome that you’re signing him up for all this fun stuff. Your kiddo must be having the best summer ever.
Well summertime is for fun, huh? He worked hard all school year and he deserves it.
