Summer fun

Summer IS fun!
We've really been having a lot of good times around here.
Eldana is in the midst of a 2 week swimming course and she thinks she is hot stuff.
She has also gone a couple of days (spread out over 4 weeks total) to a Sport Camp. She has a GREAT time, loves to play games with the teenage volunteers (Who needs peers your own age when you can hang with the lanky, blonde, cute guy with floppy hair, right? Ugh) and the folks running the camp say she does a great job.
The littles have done a couple of days of Toddler Camp that they also love. They have so much fun and seem to be doing really well. One of the therapists running it told us that she's never seen toddlers that are as good at sharing as Eliana and Abigia. How sweet! A mother's dream come true.

I am considering this summer Preschool training time. Since they are both signed up to begin Preschool in the Fall, I have been wondering how that's going to go. You know: listening to another adult, sitting still for more than 3 minutes, playing well with others.... well these are skills that we'd not realy tested much, yet. So, in addition to Toddler Camp we've been going to Storytime at the library about once/week. It's been going well, I think. I can definitely see better paying attention and less all-around craziness after going just a few times. Look out Preschool1 These girls are gonna be ready!
Oh, except for that whole potty training thing. Abigi is good. Eliana is SO close.... which is starting to get a little frustrtating. I know it's all about us. I feel like if we could get a few consecutive days of potty bootcamp in, then she'd really be on to it and we'd be homefree. But somehow the adults in this house are always sidetracked by one thing or another so we're not as diligent as we should be. Well, 2 more months to get it down.
This month (is it really July?!) brings a 4th of July party at our house, camping, finishing Toddler and Sports camps, more library time, more playdates, and more fun!

I'll try to get back with pictures soon. Really. Promise.
