Something's Begun

Summertime. I get that Will Smith song in my head about this time.

Georgia wanted to start with a bang - pool, park, popsicles (how's that for alliteration?). I wasn't quite feeling it, so we settled on park and popsicles. You got to go, go go in the Summertime.

My goals this Summer are:
  1. Have Georgia ride her bike. When we try to get her on her bike, she literally runs into the house, up the stairs, into her room, and locks the door. Screaming the entire time. Hmmmm... this goal may not be reached.
  2. Beef up on Maggie's ABCs. Another tough one When we start alphabet talk, Maggie says "Stop saying that to me!" She blurted out the spelling of her name this week, which she has previously refused to do. I was shocked! So she is learning a little something. Let's see if I can keep that up.
  3. Maintain a daily schedule of school work, at least 20 minutes a day. Georgia thinks this is all very unfair, since school is technically on break. You can't take a break from learning! Your brain goes to mush. Seriously though, school is a lot tougher nowadays, so keeping up, or even slightly ahead, is a good thing.

So I've laid it out for all to see. I guess I'm now accountable. Feel free to call me on it.

Ahh... the reason I got an iPod today. And why I love my job as Mother.

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, Diane, Michelle, and Dana. Some of the best Moms I know.

Happy Anniversary Brad!
