Mercy, have you been waiting for July 1. Now you can officially tell people you're six-and-a-half, and tell them you have (we've only been two places today but you've told multiple at each place).
We've been sending you several VBSs this summer and you couldn't be happier. Three hours a day, five days per week of singing and doing arts and crafts?! It's like it was taylor made for you. And it's been fun having some one-on-one time with Charlie while you're a'singin' and a'craftin'.
We went swimming for the first time this season. After not being in the water for nine months, I was a little worried about how you'd do. We worked so hard and so long (5+ weeks) last summer to get you to just put your head under the water and I was not looking forward to having to go through that again. Thankfully I had nothing to worry about because you jumped right in (literally). I've signed you and Charlie up for another round of lessons because now that you can put your head under, there's more important things to teach you. Namely, how to not drown.
You and Charlie are now responsible for emptying the dishwasher. You're convinced you can do it yourself and don't need Charlie's help. And while that may be true, I'm trying to teach you two how to work together better. And if I can get the clean dishes put away at the same time, then so be it. You two take nearly 30 minutes to empty the dishwasher, but it gets done. And in those 30 minutes, probably only 12 minutes is spent handling dishes. The other 18 minutes is spent by you two chasing each other around our (tiny) kitchen with dishtowels over your head, you using your Mom Voice on Charlie for not stacking the plates the right way, and asking me "Mommy, where do the forks go?" It's a hoot.
You had a dentist appointment today. It's the first one you've had in an embarassingly long time. You did great - you're cavity-free and will need to be braces-full when you're older. Both you and Charlie got my small (physically, not sassy-ly) mouth and will therefore need multiple thousands of dollars worth of braces. It's the price you pay for inheiriting qualities from such an awesome and humble momma.
Hugs and smooches,
Mommy & Daddy
