Max just completed his 1st half-day sports-skills camp at Westmont
College. Soooo crazy for me to be driving my big almost 5-year-old kid there every
day (since it was my college stomping grounds, and then I worked there before kids).
He really loved it – and they got to do everything from basketball, soccer and golf,
to hula hoops, juggling, archery and ‘rockets’ – his favorite! Though I’m not sure
if they just threw them, or had a launcher? He did so many activities sometimes it
was hard for him to describe them all to me. I left really early to pick him up yesterday,
so I could get pictures of him slip-n-sliding (that they do at the end of every day),
but the darn Fiesta traffic
into SB made it so I just barely picked him up on time. But – here’s a great pic that
they took at camp. And
also – here’s a movie we took of goofy-girl Lucy (yes, it’s really ‘Lucy’ now) in
the bathtub, after Bub the Hairstylist had done her hair. Last Thursday – we took
her to the doc and she has a sinus infection. So, (after a day and 1/2 of antibiotics)
she slept 7 hours straight through last night! Yipppeee!!!

Here’s our fam on 7/4 of this year – it’s been a little busy around here! Max is enjoying Sports Camp and Baby Lou (now we seem to be calling her ‘Lucy’, actually) is still an erratic night sleeper. Her walking is very solid and though still not really talking, her signing skills are very strong, and persistent! She can practically rub the skin off her chest as she repeats her ‘please’ which generally means ‘bottle of milk, please!’

Max told me the other day (when I informed him that it was rest time) that he didn’t want me to be his Mommy anymore. I said that was too bad, etc. After rest time (when he can be very sweet and affectionate), he said that I could be his Mommy again. And then “I forgive you, Mommy.” (though I don’t think I did anything wrong!) 🙂
