Jake had another relatively busy week at work. Several meetings but not that many night ones this time. He had a paper due for his tax class which is now over. His paper turned out quite good, in my opinion. It was well written and interesting. It’s amazing to me that he can do that in one day, at the last minute, whereas I take forever to write a well-sounding paragraph. He has always been good at writing papers.

This was a very quiet, uneventful week for me. I’ve been working to take it easy and it’s been relaxing but also a bit unnerving. I think when I tend to relax, I overdo it and then cannot muster the motivation to do anything, which, in turn, depresses me and feeds into my bad mood. I need to find a good balance of working and resting, doing both with vigor and awareness. It’s an ongoing struggle for me. However, I am enjoying the summer days and not yet looking forward to the school craze.

David has been working and playing a lot. He’s spent a lot of time with his legos and books this week. I love to watch him play and I love to listen to him read. I am amazed at how well he can read. He is also riding his bike and doing well with both swimming and soccer. We’ve been practicing the multiplication tables during our daily walks and he’s doing extremely well with that, too. I love how emotional and loving and kind David is. He reminds me of me when I was his age and I am trying to remind myself to be very gentle with him.

Nathaniel is enjoying having David at home and the two of them build legos together. They also fill up the two trucks with toys and drive them around the house. Nathaniel picked a truck book for himself from the library this week and has been asking me to read it every single night. I love the little time we spend together right before bedtime and I know it will be a memory I will cherish long after he grows up.
