Softball season has started, and this at least is a sport that I can enjoy. Unlike basketball, which I do not enjoy, and did not realize that my child had developed skill in until the very last game. I should have been paying closer attention. Having an athletic child leads to a very busy life. But it is all worth it. Aeryn is luck enough this season to be coached by her favorite uncle who she calls, King Paul . This also means that she gets to be on the same team as Grace. Which could lead to some drama later in the season but I certainly hope not.
The daylight is lasting longer and I find that Aeryn is having a harder time getting to bed on time because of the lasting daylight. She just wants to stay up and enjoy the daylight when really she should be getting rest for school the next day. It makes me happy that we are getting closer and closer to the end of the school year.
There are already so many things that we will have to fit in this summer. Aeryn will be participating in a summer school program to increase her reading fluency. Or if not increase it, at least to avoid the "summer slide". Though she is still a bit behind in her grade level reading wise she is coming along great now that we have narrowed down where the difficulties are. We will also be training animals all summer long and having lots of quality family time. I had wanted to fit in some camping this summer but it looks like the only camping that I will be doing is at cattle shows. Aeryn would really like to go to four but I do not know if we are going to be able to fit them all in.
Life itself feels really good right now. My children are happy, and I believe that I am happy as well. We look forward to the coming holiday in which I will get to cook a big meal and we wills it and gorge ourselves until we can not move. I will get to run, jump, and play with the kids. Maybe even take our bikes out for a bit.
