Life in our house is slowly turning back to normal. K has her bandages off now, and she seems to be happy to freely move her hand again. The boys have not talked about it very much. D has proudly told his grandparents that everyone else was scared, but he wasn’t. At the same time, his new favorite game has been to play “baby”. Maybe he wasn’t scared (which I doubt), but I’m afraid that he was a little bit jealous of all the fuss over little K. Poor guy. Like me, he probably also thought his stitches would be one of the most talked about moments of the summer!
Z, on the other hand, has been so sweet to his little sister, and yet a bit concerned that we haven’t yet replaced the shredder. Hmm, that will happen NEVER!!
We have almost 3 weeks left until the boys start school again. I think we are all ready for the fall rhythm to start again. I feel a little guilty saying that. I feel like time just flies by, and I want to treasure these summer days with my 3 little ones. At the same time, this summer has been long and hard, and some days are harder to treasure than I want them to be.
Here are some of the moments I DO want to hold on to: 🙂
Z's favorite new skill- crossing the monkey bars
The water slide with no life vest!
D watching an inch worm in the mountains
K chasing her brothers
D and K longingly watching their brother play tennis 🙂
