Back to the Sprinklers

Last summer, Jack discovered the wonder of sprinklers at the local parks. He went almost everyday and played, played, played in the freezing cold water.

Well, we're back at it again this year. It's interesting. Last year, he was one of the smaller kids and I was generally worried that we would be trampled by bigger kids. This year, he's much bigger and now I worry that he'll trample the little ones (like Spence). Spence doesn't really know what to think. He's interested in the water, but does not like that it is freezing cold. We'll see where things stand at the end of the summer. One thing is for sure - it's much harder to watch two little ones running around than one!

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
