I can not believe that summer is basically. We have been having so
much fun with swim lessons this year and playing soccer outside. Chance
has grown so much over the past 6 months and I can really tell a huge
difference in his developmental skills. Watching my child grow in front
of me is one of the best things God has blessed me with.
Without a
shadow of doubt my kid is going to be some athlete, he can not get
enough of playing with either a soccer ball, basketball or throwing a
baseball around. The giggles and laughter I hear I just cannot get
enough of and sometimes I just want time to slow down and stop to
remember these moments.
Chance is an excellent swimmer as well! This
was our second summer doing swim lessons at the Y. It's a parent/child
class so a good workout for mommy too! When we wrapped up the first
session his swim instructor told me on the last day that even though his
is not yet 3, she thinks he can be moved up to the next class. I am one
proud mom of his swimming accomplishments. He had also been enjoying
time at Grandma's (Marilyn's) house with her pool this summer which I
really think boosts his confidence in the water. Hopefully by next
summer I will be swimming right next to him.

Chance's
vocabulary has grown so much over the past few months as well. He was
moved up in his class at school when a spot became available back in May
and I have seen his brain working and turning after each day when he
comes home. He counts well in both English and Spanish (he even helps
count for me while I grin on the floor, doing my daily push ups.) His
speech and comprehension to things amazes me, such a sponge brain! I
wish that mine would do the same at times. I keep joking with Al that my
fathers genes just skipped me and he gave them all to Chance.
A
great and exciting time we are currently in is POTTY TRAINING, oh the
joy! I never thought I could show such excitement when my child not only
pees but poops in the pot. How this all transpired is Chance has 2
really good buddies at his daycare. Which his teachers over the past
year have called them the 3 amigos. To advance to the next classroom you
need to be fully potty trained. Well, about 3 weeks ago Chance's 2
friends were moved into that next class, and this has not made my kiddo
to happy. We had some pretty bad daily reports come home for about the
next week which got worse with each day, so Friday Al and I went to the
daycare director to discuss what in the world was going on! To make a
long story short, we think he was acting out since not being around his
friends and potty training time was upon us. I'd say to date we are 80%
there, hes got #1 down, but going #2 is just the worst possible thing to
imagine. But it was finally accomplished this past Saturday. I think I
was more excited than he was when it happened!!
I still cant
believe we are coming to the close of yet another year. I started
looking last night at birthday themes (yes, I know I'm about 3 1/2
months ahead of time) but this year has flown. It will also more than
likely be the last birthday that Al and I get to decide on a theme....
decisions decisions. But nevertheless, I have a so much joy and
excitement putting it all together for him. Holy smokes still can not
believe he will be turning 3!
