SUMMER FUN Part 2


SUMMER FUN

Hi Everyone!

I haven't posted in several months, so here goes. I have now finished the Spring quarter 2010. It was a difficult one. I am taking the first summer off from school in two years. I need the break and will resume courses in the Fall. Already signed for my Fall classes and will be doing my big practicum of 133 hours plus the other two classes. I will be working with special needs and non-disabled children, hopefully at Madison Elementary.

I am enjoying my break, but will be trying to get a temporary summer job soon. The 4th of July weekend has been fun. I went with my daughter and 8 year old granddaughter to River Front Park on the 3rd, and we took Autumn to the pony rides, carousel, a picnic, bouncy castle, and walked all over the park (it pooped Gammy out!). But, our biggest highlight was when Autumn and I went on the Gondola and looked down over the churning falls of the Spokane River. Autumn thought it was so beautiful! I went on the Gondola with her, but Colleen was a scaredy-cat. She is afraid of heights. I don't blame her. It can be scary. But, we had great fun!

For those of you who are familiar with my grandson, Isaac, he is coming along pretty well in the past 4 or 5 months in his development...at his own pace, but changing for the better. He is now rolling quickly all over the floor to get to where he wants to go and playing with his toys, and now loves to look at his picture books when you read them to him. He is also following commands he understands, lately. He is such a joy, and waves to people and loves to do the counting game with me every time he sees me. He really loves to hear us sing to him, as well as he dances to some of the songs we sing (bounces up and down while smiling), like "Row, row, row your boat." He is quite a sweet little man, and is loved by all. He is enjoying his time in his new kiddie pool and new swing in his backyard this summer. He seems to look like he is enjoying the life of "Riley." (LOL!)

This summer is a time we will relax and have some summer fun before the work starts in September. Until then,

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY AND SUMMER!
