First swims of the summer! - And small family updates

Last night we cleaned out the kids' pool. They insisted on swimming immediately. Bryndan had a good time until he turned blue and couldn't stop shivering. Kaitlyn decided it was too cold and never sat down. Then today we tried again. Kaitlyn played a little longer and did splash around before she got out to slide and swing. Bryndan stayed in the whole time and fun was had by all.

Bryndan has one more week of school. We had a meeting with them yesterday, and they have decided to move him to the regular 4 year old head start next year. No more PPCD. This is both happy and sad news. We are so blessed that he has progressed and mostly caught up with his age group, but we are sad we are losing his teacher Ms. Wheat. She has worked so hard with him for the last year and a half and he really loves her. Next year he will have a new teacher but will still have someone to help him throughout the day if he needs it. He will also still have some speech therapy and some OT throughout the week.

Kaitlyn has her last day of spring PDO tomorrow. She had a really good time, and made several friends. She has really grown and it is amazing how much she can do. She talks very well and can count to 10. We are working on letters, and the more that Bryndan reads, she picks up. It is really wonderful to see how they interact together and how she looks to him for help.

The new little one is still on schedule for Aug 4th. We had a little scare at the end of April. I had a UTI go bad and ended up with a kidney infection. I spent 4 days in the hospital trying to rehydrate and get antibiotics flowing. I was down for another week after that, but am feeling much better now. Just the normal Mom of 2 and pregnant tired...

I was also able to go to the neurologist last week. I got a new medication for migraines that I can take while pregnant, and a steroid shot in the nerve at the base of my skull. So far so good...we will see how much this helps with the headaches and dizziness.

We are looking forward to a busy and fun filled summer!!! I think with the pool and playset we will be spending many hours out of doors. Hopefully we won't have too many sunburns. :)
