Want to know how we know this?
It's not what you think! No, we're not trying to rush through the summer. Not trying to get our little guy back in school so he won't be with us. He's not having a bad time, or trying to get away from us.
He's a 2nd grader now! He CAN'T wait to be an official 2nd grader...which, to a "literal man" means that you have to go to a classroom and start doing 2nd grade work.
He has asked us every day since school got out last Thursday about "when do I go back to school?" We thought he was having trouble with the concept of the month, even though he does know days, weeks, and months, as in understanding how long they last. He wants to be a 2nd grader.
Oh, and today...is the First Day of Summer!
Summer Starts Today!
It's The Longest Day of the Year!
We love our Literal Man.
And now, please excuse me as I go and make a summer calendar of activities so he has other activities to look forward to, besides just going back to school again.
Please, let's enjoy as much of the next 65 days as possible, let these days be productive and educational, in a fun way.
Happy First Day of Summer!

I just did this with the girls :) We made a checklist of things they wanted to do this summer. Pick blueberries, Go Fishing, Go to the Beach/Lake, Sleepover Grandmas, School Shopping...etc. We made a calender and added the things we knew when were going to happen. We are flying to MD in August and having that on their calendar has helped stop the "when are we going on the plane trip" questioning. We added some extra pages and made a little booklet out of it so that they can draw or write in it about the things we do. Who knows, it might become a summer tradition, assuming of course we can keep track of said booklets. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tammy, that's an awesome idea! We have a calendar that we use, but I think we're going to steal your idea and make it a notebook that he can add to. Will be fun to go back and look at their summer activities years later. :) Looking forward to your trip in Aug. Are you planning on going to Harpers Ferry, WV while you're out here?
