Vote

We voted tonight!

Oliver was helpful!  We were the last

voters there!  They said it wasn't very

busy today.

Laughing about the work he was doing on his

calculator.  Whatever it was must have been

funny, it made Mommy giggle to see him

like this!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams!)

Swim

We had a nice tiring swim tonight.  

We worked on Summer Bridge before we got in

the pool.  

It was quiet the first part of our swim!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams.)

June

Mommy can't believe it is already June!  Here are this month's calendars!

Masha

(Hmmm.)

"The important this is to keep

your intention clear."

(Hmmm.)

Happy June!

Mellow Sunday

We had another mellow day.

We went for another swim.

Lovely.

We'll be swimming a lot in the summer.

Oliver's schedule is busy with camps,

vacations, and camping so we can't sign 

up for lessons.  More time in pool 

together and hopefully his swim skills

keep growing!

Plus we like working on reading and Summer

Bridge together at the lobby tables.

Neat rainbow we spotted during errands!

Sunday Night Walk with a spotting

of Kung Fu Panda!

(Goodnight and sweet dreams!)

Mellow

We had a nice mellow day.  

We always have a reason to go

to the library.

If this isn't reason enough.

Oliver really likes the used book

store.  Oops.

We went for a swim.  Oliver really wants to be

on the next cut-out board.

Beautiful Day!

Getting excited swim.

And start our Summer Bridge workbook.

(Time.)

We read a chapter from his new book!

Goodnight and sweet dreams!  And HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT ALLISON!!!!

Friday Swim

Oliver is home!  We went for a swim tonight to transition.  We are happy it is the weekend!

Talking about the teenagers that were lined up

outside the Y for the Teen Dance.  He was

saying some pretty funny things.  Only about

6 more years until he goes to those.  Oh no!

(Oh Johnny.)

Oliver brought in a succulent that he

planted in a vase a student gave Mommy.

In the pool with Sharon, while 

Mommy got ready.

Happy Friday!  Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Open House

Oliver's Open House was Wednesday night.  Here are a couple of pictures!

Asking Grammie to please buy him a book he 

had his eye on at the book fair!  

Teaching us about bees!

Mommy found this in his desk!  It takes major

dedication to wear a pencil down like that.

(Major dedication.)

Reluctantly reading the bees poem to Mommy

and Grammie.  He read it with a little help

and was successful!  He is gaining confidence

in his reading and in school.  Oliver will

be redoing first grade again next year. 

Mommy knows an extra year will help

with his academic growth and hopefully

with his confidence.

He is finally, finally really getting into

books and seeing the power they have

on his imagination.  Grammie bought

him the chapter book that he wanted 

about a boy who hunts and a dog he found.

Open house was great and so is Oliver!
