Happy Father's Day!!

My apologies for not writing an entry last week, it was pretty hectic in our house! Alex and I had parties to go to, Summer School to prepare for, and I worked most of this last week, so we decided that today was to be our lazy day. Now to catch you all up on what has happened the last two weeks!

Alex had a week off before he started Summer School this past week. That gave him some well deserved Grandpa time, and then we had two parties to go to last weekend. One was for my side of the family, and the other was for Tony's side of the family. The first one he did a magnificent job playing with the other kids and he had a great time! But the second one was an engagement party, and he was letting me know in his own way that he really wanted to just have time off away from the ladies and the partying. Besides, the only other kids there were two girls who were younger, so I think he lost interest very quickly (as would any guy).

His first week of Summer School went well. He enjoys the fact he gets to play with his friends and be outside, and he REALLY enjoys it when Grandpa gets to pick him up from school when he is done. We couldn't find his tennis shoes for the first four days, which lead to him taking a digger one day and scraping his knees. However, magnificent Dad found his lost shoes on Friday, so the second week of Summer School should be much better.

Speaking of Magnificent Dad....



Today is Father's Day! Yesterday, since Tony had the day off, we went over to Grandpa and Grandma's house and had supper with them, gave Grandpa his new number puzzle books, and then when we got home we gave Tony his presents. Alex is super lucky to have two amazing guys in his life that he gets to celebrate today. Grandpa is his best friend, even though he won't stick up for him when Grandma tries to harass him. And Dad is his Dad, who play fights with him and he learns weird stuff from all the time. When Alex gets sick of Tony and I, he wants to go to Grandpa's house. And when he has been stuck with me all day long, he waits for Dad to come home so that he can harass him for a while. It takes quite a man to raise a kid that is not biologically your own, let alone one that is differently-abled. But these two guys have mastered it, and mastered all things in the art of Alex.



Next week is the last week of Summer School for Alex, then he has just play group on Tuesdays until August when Jump Start starts. So that means that I will have to come up with plenty of activities for the three of us to do so we keep ourselves out of trouble. Not only that, but I really should be a pro-active parent and start gathering stuff that we will need for school (its my last semester, I am so excited!).

We hope you all have an exciting week!
