Planning this summer is super stressful—I am trying to cram as much in as possible before this baby gets here (whenever that is). Plus I have to work a set amount—3 days a week—to keep my benefits (which is obviously quite important right now). I get a bit emotional about these last days with just Joseph. It is so easy to go do all this stuff now and very hard to imagine doing it all with baby. I know we will adjust and it is for the best, but I still want to give Joseph some awesome memories! Of course I may have to revise my plans a bit if something changes with this pregnancy, but so far so good.
Camp Kookamunga—”big kid” camp that looks very fun! This is the first summer that Joseph has been in school and therefor not accounted for for the summer months. After looking around quite a bit (there are not many options around here) we decided on 4 weeks of the recreation department camp. It is on the expensive side, but looks like a blast. Joseph and I are both a bit nervous about it, since it is a new adventure, and Joseph doesn’t quite understand why his best buds cant attend with him, but I think it will work out!
fun times with grandparents for Joseph
and some time, when not at camp, with his favorite baby sitters Sophie and Lily!
