Saturday felt like summer already. Although we had change of plan last minute. Lizzy woke me up 10pm crying as she had headache (38.3C). I gave her Tylenol and she was fine, but we skipped the swimming competition which was a bit of a bummer. Fortunately she didn’t have any more fever on Saturday and we spent the day super relaxed, at least half of the time on the couch reading or watching World Cup.
I started to feel that summer break has arrived. I also finished arranging the summer sublet we are staying so all set for the summer break in DC.
I don’t have a bucket list, but do have intention of what I hope we feel this summer.
Feelings: calm, slow, nowhere to be but present, connection, serendipity
Low key summer things
- Take walks with the girls. Most of the days I’ll be with Lizzy alone and we will aim to walk 20-30 min a day before or after her summer camp.
- Have ice creams and popsicles. Maybe we make a challenge of try new flavors every day.
- Eat outside, bring food to parks.
- Visit arks/playgrounds.
- Read books that make me feel summery.
- Soak up the sun on my face and the breeze in a hot day.
- Listen to music, find local concerts.
- A lot of talk with the girls, especially Lizzy. For 3 weeks it will be just me and her being besties.
- Try summer special/treat from Trader Joe’s.
- Teach Lizzy to cook some simple dishes?!
- Explore our temporary neighborhood.
