Kieran finally had one full good week at camp. He even tried for his belt test (they pre-test the day before) and was told he was not ready. He was OK and did not blow his stack. There was one incident where he kissed another camper (a boy) who got into his personal space. Said Kieran "I thought it would be funny." It was kiddo. Not only because you kissed this boy but also because the counselor who witnessed it went to the owner of the camp and said "I don't know what to say here."
Ms. Jen did great. She commended Kieran for keeping his cool but reminded him that it is best to keep our germs to ourselves. I still think it's funny and reminds me of the time that his cousin, Zack also kissed a classmate (I think he was in Kindergarten). I don't even remember why though I want to say it was a "kiss and make up" thought, but I could be wrong.
Amelia is too much into everything. Hard to keep up with her energy, into-everything-ness and defiance. She does want to try and potty train - asks to go on the potty but does nothing. I was going back through our blog and realized that Kieran started this way too. So, perhaps, in a year's time we'll be done with diapers. I'd say we'd save money at that point but she eats us like a fiend now, I don't expect that to let up as she grows.
Kieran is getting chased by girls and Ken and I got our first "EEEEEEEEEEEEEWW!" from him when we kissed the other day. (Which is funny because we kiss goodbye almost every morning in front of him). So, I think I'm going to need advice soon on having a talk about why girls are trying to kiss him and whatnot. He already asked why all the girls chase him, I said maybe they like him or maybe they just like running. I suggested that maybe he let himself be caught. He did not like that idea.
Today we had a great day celebrating my dad and Uncle Gary's birthday at a bowling alley. It was funny - the kids were all on one lane (we had a total of 6 kids bowling) by the end of our 2 hours they were down to 2 - just Kieran and Zack. The rest went to play in the arcade. Kieran started the day by my old method of throwing the ball in between his legs but finished by actually bowling. I was really impressed that he took to it and kept at it even though he did not have a great start to the day. Amelia had everyone there admiring her loving nature as she went from person to person giving kisses and hugs, getting tickled. When Eve and Sofia came in, she went right to them and asked to be picked up again and again. Though we have not seen them often she went straight for them and enjoyed hanging with 'the girls'. Tonight I am beat, but happy. Kids had a good time, I had a good time, no one shed any blood (well, maybe Becca but that doesn't count because she wasn't there), and everyone napped (except me). That's all for now folks, gotta get Amelia to bed. Love to all, blog again eventually.
