On Friday Dave and I attended Ajax’s Preschool graduation. The kids had on little graduation caps and received a certificate. They also received gifts of sidewalk chalk and bubbles, which Ajax couldn’t wait to play with. After the graduation he played with his friends and when it was time to leave a dozen kids gave him one giant group hug as it was his last day at KinderCare. Ajax didn’t seem sad in the least, but was quite upbeat telling all his friends and teachers good-bye.
After that we went home and loaded up the car and then headed to my folks’ house in Brooklyn for the weekend as it was Farm clean up. Noomi did not sleep well on Friday night and therefore, neither did the rest of us. Ajax asked grandma Mary if she could please keep Noomi quiet as he could not sleep with all that noise. On Saturday, we trimmed some trees and built a huge burn pile. The chain saw died in the early afternoon, so my dad declared us done for the day. He and Ajax took the boat out to the lake and went fishing, which us girls went into town for hair cuts. Mr. Dave fell asleep on the couch. The hairdresser trimmed Noomi’s bangs (first haircut) so now they don’t hang in her eyes. She seems quite happy now. When we got home Dave and I went into Jackson for a date night while my parents babysat. It was very nice.
On Sunday, we bummed around a bit and then headed home. When we got home we did yard work, played in the dirt, went swimming and then had an early dinner and bed as everyone was exhausted.
On Monday, Ajax started his new summer camp program at the school and so far he seems to love it. He was a bit shy when we all dropped him off, but was too interested in all the toys to stay next to us for long. I don’t think Noomi liked leaving her brother there and heading to her school. Right now her repeated phrase is – mine. She will say – my baby, my daddy, my mommy, my Ajax, mine! Her favorite thing to repeat is – My daddy. Where’s daddy? Daddy? My daddy. Yea, it’s cute.
