Really as a stay at home parent you would assume that yes, kids are out of school no more waking up early for a few months, all day play by the pool, and play dates. Great right? Right the sleeping in part is wonderful. Pool days here are about everyday when we have a pool up. And we enjoy play dates but relaxing to us could be completely different than your relaxing. During the summer especially this summer the end of May to middle of June we are swamped with dance recital prep, dance recital, softball games and practices if they can fit them in. A just got a call today that Braydens tball starts practices Tuesday and Thursday's from 5:30-7. Then when his games starts they are Monday's and Wednesdays. Which most of Ryleigh's games well a variety of them are on Wednesdays and Thursday's. Then preparing for the first few weeks of June Ryleigh will be undergoing a tonsillectomy. June 10the she gets those bad boys out and for a few weeks following we will live a boring life. The day before and day of surgery we planned on staying with my parents because they are the closest to the hospital just to insurance a fast outlet in case we have to go back to the ER. Lord willing things will go great and by the fourth day she will be some what able to move. 😬 Also I haven't necessarily touched a lot on it but we are waiting for Brayden to be seen by an Autistic specialist to confirm the pediatricians diagnosis. However the therapist he sees during the school year also offers services at her house during the summer to children for speech and language. He also in a way to describe it to make more of an understood statement. He's considered "socially awkward", nothing is bad about this but his therapist will be working to ensure he learns the social cues he needs to, to be able to lead a life of normalcy. However what is normal actually. He may not be normal to some but to me he Brayden he is normal. He is fine. I have dealt with this hard. I will touch more on base with my next post because this one is about our somewhat not relaxing summer. But besides the tonsillectomy and therapist appointments softball and tball is our relaxation. We enjoy watching our children excell in sports and enjoy. With that being said, our kids do enjoy this. If they didn't want to play baseball or softball we won't force it. We, Ken and I, will allow our children to chose in life what they want to do. Meaning if they chose and they enjoy as well as being happy in what they have chosen. We feel as they will succeed and excell. We also feel no matter what they do in life (minus becoming a drug addict, violent person, violator, you get my drift) they will succeed. Also once softball and tball are over, comes July 4th. After that for a few weeks are relaxation at home. We don't really go anywhere or do much but house stuff playing around the house occasionally movies or going to the park. Then we start preparing for school again. Shopping for things such as new clothes and school supplies as well as general appointments eye doctors if they are due, we definitely get dentist appointments (which Rys will soon be ortho), and then just making sure everything is up to date ready for the new school year. In which the next few post coming will touch on Braydens diagnosis as well as school. What are we looking fowArd to this summer and new school year? Can anyone guess what the kids are looking fowArd to in August when school starts back? Leave a comment below and I will get back to you.
