The summer programs have ended

Although this week wasn't very good weather-wise, the week completed with a camp called "Twister Moves" after the video game that makes you dance in order to get points. I guess they also played Dance Dance Revolution, which Trevor is familiar with due to us owning it for the Wii. They also played a lot of other activities, and Trevor seemed to do well and have a good time. He rode the bus for the last time this week and gave the bus driver a card that he had made, thanking her for driving him this summer.

I really think that even though he did pretty much the same thing as last summer, he really has learned a lot, even if it was socially, this summer. I'm glad he had the experiences he did on the bus, and I can tell the fact that he isn't the biggest is finally starting to become realized. We had our not-so-good days, but we had some pretty great days too. The understanding that sometimes I need to take care of Gwen when she is out of sorts doesn't seem to spur as much jealousy as it once did. The fact that she wants to do things just like he does is what really gets to him now.

There are a few things left on the to-do list before school starts in a few weeks. But it all does include a lot of time with Gwen, so hopefully he'll be ok with it. We have the Children's Museum, the Zoo, the Library, the State Fair, and perhaps an indoor park or two.

So there went the summer. I've felt the end near, so a lot of organizing and setting things up for school has happened. A big Thanks to Russ for re-doing our mud room closet. Now the kids can hang their things up without needing someone to reach the hanger for their coats. And my computer was having issues, and the computer geek resolved that one as well. What would we do without him? Love you sweetie!
