We just returned from an unexpected trip to Cleveland, as we have a good friend who needed support after his mom passed away. Despite the circumstances, it was a nice relaxing trip, and I realized how lucky we are to have friends who take comfort from our presence. We were very honest with the little one about what happened, and how “just being there” is something that friends do for each other.
The little one starts school this week; I hope that everything works out well, and I still need to find a rain outfit and some new rain boots that are fairly environmentally friendly. Tomorrow is cubby day followed by his first day on Wednesday. I hope that we are able to get settled into the early morning routine easily.
Other than that, we were excited to complete the letter boxing program this year that is sponsored by our local library. This is the first year we completed all 30 rubbings, and it was a very relaxed and enjoyable process. We just need to make it to the library this week to drop off our sheet!
Next on our list is a series of geocaches in a neighboring town. If we complete all of them and attend a local festival, we will get a geocaching coin, which I think would be a cool reward. The kid is starting to get into geocaching, and I think it’s a great way to teach geography and navigational skills.
I’m sure I’ll have more to write tomorrow. It’s time to get to sleep so that I can get up in the morning!
