I decided to stay home another day from my original plan to head back to summer camp yesterday. A fellow troop parent who lives in the neighborhood grabbed the portable sink that I was going to bring up so that is at least taken care of. I also sent a package of stuff up for my middle child who had a bloody nose the first day that was still having issues the second day. He’s fine now, but I sent the stuff up anyway just in case.
Both of my boys lost $15 at camp. I gave them each $20, and both lost $15. The older one left his money in his backpack and left his backpack in the STEM center. When he went to retrieve it later, the money was gone. Tough lesson. He is using ApplePay on his phone now, but he will have to pay me back for anything he spends. Turns out my other son also lost $15. He had it in his pants pocket and thinks he lost it during Lifesaving training when he had to jump in fully clothed. He’s also using his brother’s ApplePay and will owe me for anything extra he gets. I just feel like these are expensive ways to teach responsibility.
I had a good couple of days home with my daughter. We went to a total of three long course practices before her summer swim league practice. I am happy that I have been able to take her. The ability to take her today was also part of my decision to stay home another day. I want her to get these practices in with the year-round team. I am not looking forward to her meet on Sunday because of the drive, but watching her swim makes me happy.
We also made a quick YouTube short of the dogs destroying a toy yesterday. This was after Blu destroyed one of Pepper’s toys the day before. The big dog makes short work of the little dogs toys. We bought Pepper a new toy Tuesday night when we went to Petco for puppy class, and it’s the one they destroy in this video.
Puppy class was not a success last. The trainer apparently didn’t work there anymore. They never sent me anything saying the class was cancelled, and my husband even got the confirmation text that class was happening that night. Oh well. At least I got to show her the other animals at the pet store and she had a little fun with the toy they destroyed.
Tonight will by my first night away from her! How crazy is that?? I am not ready for it!
