Jackson's summer school ended last week and this week he is starting summer camp (had his first day yesterday). It's actually at the same school, but it is through special recreation rather than the school district and has a whole different set of people for the most part. It's a little stressful getting everything worked out. There were a few interesting SNAFUs yesterday but he seemed to have enjoyed it and that is the most important thing. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
Today he is going to the beach, which brings a whole new level of stress for me. It is super hot today so I really hope they are able to keep him cool enough (since he has temperature regulation issues) without freezing him in the lake. Plus, they are changing the kids into their swim suits (and swim diapers) before leaving the school. So I have to worry that (because swim diapers are not made to hold pee, only solids) he will soak his wheelchair on the bus ride there or the bus ride back and then have to sit in a pee soaked chair all day. Hopefully they will follow my instructions and everything will be fine.
Lee's friends have been working for a long time on adapting our special needs jogging stroller to double as a bike trailer. Finally, after more than a year, it is finished. The guys took it for a short test run up and down the street and it worked well. We just have a few improvements to make (getting a 5 pt harness on it and improving the canopy coverage) and it will be perfect.
Here is a video of the test run. It was really hot so we were not able to do a longer ride, but the guys both enjoyed it!
Zoe is doing well. She is loving playing in her sandbox and her kiddie pool. That and loving on her dog...perhaps loving on her dog a little too much.
