Summer flies by and I miss much of it as I now work year around. The summer work is much more laid back as the phone does not ring constantly with the urgency of a crisis. This year Amelia is participating on a tball team, taking guitar and swimming lessons so i often feel like I am missing something.
I have always wanted to take guitar lessons but am somewhat tone deaf and haven't found the time. But Amelia has been coming home and teaching me. Together we are mastering Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She does a great job of encouraging me and provides a great deal of positive reinforcement.
Shaela had a high school graduation party today. Claire and I were preparing to put money in a card. Amelia was very inquisitive about why people give graduates cash and then insisted on giving something also. So we set her up with her own envelope. She ran to her room and got one of the two dollar bills she possessed--the result of picking up sticks at a penny each. She then asked her mother whether we would be giving her twenty when she graduated.
