Thursday ramblings . . .

Only one more day of swimming for the session - then we're done for the summer. DD seems to be swimming - she's still not 100% sure how to come up for breath and keep going but she's getting there! We'll have to really try and stay in the pool the next few weeks so she keeps progressing. I'm happy with her progress and am really glad we went ahead and did that extra 2 weeks. DS seems to have stalled out on his progress but that's ok - it achieved what I wanted for him - enough comfort in the water for him to actually enjoy being in it. He takes after his mama though and will never be a true fish like his sister will be!!

I've been trying to eat less and healthier and exercise. I've lost 15 lbs in the last month and a half so I guess it's working. I've set a goal of 4 lbs a month. I've still got 35 lbs to lose but losing it 4 lbs at a time is much easier than saying I have 35 lbs to lose. A month and a half ago I had 50 lbs to lose so things are already looking up! :-)

what else - ds had his 9 year check up - 54 " and 52 lbs! Tall and skinny. Just like he's been since he was a year old. I talked with the ped about the suspected hypoglycemia and he seemed to agree it could be an issue and to just continue treating it at home as we have been. If it becomes worse then let him know.

Life is idling along. I'm looking forward to next week - we don't have any plans other than to hang out. We were going to go to Legoland but I don't have the $ for it right now so I'm probably not going to go. We'll see. We might visit the house of mouse but it's been so hot - maybe if we get up and go first thing in the morning. We've not been to the beach at all this summer so maybe we should do that too.

20 days until Vegas. 30 days until New York. 48 days until school starts.
