Love my boy!

Tonight my boy and I had a good talk.  He was exhausted after a long day of swimming with his aunts and threw a little fit when I told him he had to go to bed. (I know he was exhausted when he started throwing a fit because he very rarely does that!)  After he got calmed down he told me he was sorry for throwing a fit and asked me if we could do some extra fun stuff together this week, then I sang him his favorite bedtime song, "You Are My Sunshine" and he fell asleep while I was singing to him.  I really started thinking about how soon we will both be starting back to school.  He will be a big kindergartner and I will be student teaching at Wellston High School.  This will be the first semester that I have to be gone all day, every day, and on Wednesday's I won't get home until 8 p.m. because of a class I have to take at school! So anyways, it is going to be a big change and a very busy time so I want to take full advantage of the month left we have together before it starts!  I have a board on Pinterest full of ideas of fun things to do with Nate and we are going to do as many as possible!
Here are some of our fun plans:

• Go to the library and get some books to read together
• Read
• Swim--and work on teaching Nate to swim
• Swing
• Jump on the trampoline
• Make pizza
• Make cookies and read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"
• Make muffins and read "If You Give a Moose a Muffin"
• Play at the park
• Go on a nature walk and find cool leaves and rocks
• Draw on the sidewalk with chalk
• Take an "Alphabet tour" (Pinterest find)
• Go to the Children's Museum 
• Make sock puppets and have a puppet show
• Camp out in the back yard
• Go bowling
• Make a fort in the living room
• Play I Spy
• Take silly pictures with Photo Booth
• Make "sand pudding" (Pinterest find)
• Take a glow bath (Pinterest find)
• Make lego jello (Pinterest find)

I am looking forward to doing all of these fun things with my boy and spending lots of time together!
