Swimming Lessons Day Two

Casey had a blast to day in swimming lessons. He was the first one to volunteer for the different things they did, a huge step for a shy kid like Casey.

After the lesson we stopped at the library and got a few new movies for him to enjoy. I found a couple of books on CD to enjoy, A couple of Stephanie Plum books that I have heard but wanted to listen to again and then we also got a couple of books for Brent. Then it was off to home and do what we do.

When we were in Idaho Falls the last time Brents dad gave us a bird house to paint so we started that project today. I will try and get a picture of it soon. I am going to make this a multi day project for Casey. With no summer school he is starting to get a little board so to compensate for that we are going to start doing a few pages of workbooks in the morning. He also has words to learn for first grade. Words like she, he, we, little, look and many more. Thankfully he is willing to do them with me. He is getting pretty good at it too. We did walk over and check out the class list this morning before swimming lessons. There are about five kids from his kindergarten class and the teacher is someone who was a speech specialist before becoming a first grade teacher. Two things I am thankful for. The funny thing was I read the list of supplies he will need to take to school with him and he wanted to know "Why do I have to take them, does the school not have them for me to use." Good question if you ask me but thankfully the list is not that long. Just the basic things like glue, pencils, erasers, Kleenex, a folder and a couple other things.

As for my eating, I was able to have the meal I fixed the guys tonight. Sausage with red beans, tomatoes and rice. Since Casey likes his rice plain I made the rice in the microwave and cooked the beans and tomatoes on the stove. That way Brent and I were able to mix them and Casey got his plain rice. It was so good to be able to eat what I fixed instead of having to make two meals. I dont think I will try a steak or a sandwich just yet, just a little to much chewing but I know that day will come soon.

What does tomorrow hold for us...well another day of swimming and getting a few things from Fred Meyer and of course my doctor's appointment. :):) Hopefully he will say make an appointment for Monday or Tuesday and lets get these things off. But I have decided that if he wants me to suffer for another week I will do it. So on that note...
