My 2 Kids For Him
• May. 4, 2008 -
Well, as of the last couple of days, my blood pressure readings are finally showing normal numbers. After about the first 5 days my Dr. doubled the dose and that seems to be working.
We've been super busy, but things are drawing to an end. The only thing left is piano recital and dance recital. A few weeks ago was dd's homeschool choir performance. 
And last weekend I endured another dance competition. I say endured because I left my house at 6:30 am and returned at 10:00pm. And dd only had to dance ONE time. We had to wait until awards and then it was 1 1/2 hour drive home....in the rain at night I might add. I felt I had heard enough music and seen enough dancing to last me a lifetime:)
Yesterday we spent the day at the lake with our church outing. It was a beautiful day, but my kids are suffering from all the pollen they inhaled all day yesterday. The sunburn is nothing compared to the allergies:( My ds atayed in the canoe practically ALL day long. Needless to say, he went to sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow last night. Dh and ds got up at 6:30 to get there early and fish, but neither one caught a thing. Here is dd in the back paddle boat....she didn't want to attempt the canoe after seeing someone flip theirs two times....and yep, it was the same person both times:)
We're back into babysitting full swing.....well full swing is 2 days a week for us:) Here is dd doing piano practice with her little helper.... Isn't he a cutie. He loves the piano.
And lastly ds's baseball season has come to an early end:( We let him quit. Something we've never let our kids do before. They know if they ask to do something, they don't ask to quit. For some reason ds was very unhappy with ball this season. He had made this clear to us over and over and I told him if after 2 games he still felt the same he could quit. I told him this thinking he would love it once the games started and not mention quitting again. But I was badly mistaking. We tried to encourage him but we didn't feel we should make him play as unhappy as he was. Last season he absolutely loved it the whole time...never complained from the beginning to the end.
Well that's what has been going on with us. The next 3 weekends will be busy too. And our homeschool conference is in less than 3 weeks now! Yay! I can't wait.....I'm still undecided on next years curriculum and hope to make a decision by then. |

The lake looks like so much fun!
I think you definitely did the right thing in letting him quit baseball. There are plenty of areas in life to teach perseverance, without them being miserable in a sport. I would have done the same~encouraging him to give it a couple of weeks first, then seeing how things were. Sometimes once they get started in something it isn't what they had thought. I'm glad the Lord gives us room to change and learn!
