We took Cory to see the fireworks in Moraine for the 4th of July. He loved it!! I was second guessing myself about taking him because I didn't know how he'd react and I didn't want him to be scared, but I was definitely worrying about nothing. He talked about them for days and days afterwards.
Sean is working on taking some classes at a local college to finish up his criminal justice degree that he started eleven years ago and never completed because of his deployment to Iraq. At this particular school he has the opportunity to get into a program to become a U.S. Marshal which has always been his dream. It will be an exciting next couple of years, that's for sure. If all goes according to plan we will end up in Georgia for a few months while Sean completes his Marshal training program. An adventure for sure! :)
We have decided to hold off on preschool for Cory for this year. I spent many nights awake in bed mulling over the decision. I'm still kind of torn but all in all I'm happy with our decision to wait one more year. He has his whole life to go to school but only a few years to be a little boy and I'm very thankful that I have such a special opportunity to spend those few "little boy years" with him.
Potty training is the next big item on our family agenda. I've been putting it off for various reasons but I know he's ready. Next week it's full speed ahead and hopefully we'll have a potty trained toddler by the time we leave for Maine.
Today is Saturday and Sean is helping a friend's parents with a garage door issue so it's just me and Cory today. We just finished making pancakes and now we're lounging around. We don't have any special plans for the rest of the weekend, just to spend as much time together as a family as possible. Hope everyone else has a great weekend too!
