This week I had tennis camp.I loved it because every day we played at least 2 games & we got tee-shirts. I met Zakson, Ben, & Kellen. They were really nice. I won king of the court 3 times. I wish I could go back next week.

Typically, about 3-4 months before his birthday, Simon takes a big developmental leap of some sort that corresponds with the upcoming year. This summer is no different, except that I am pretty sure what he’s doing is catching up with some missed developmental milestones from years past.

Another year of school wraps up today, and it was, in a word, perfect. I don’t toss that word around lightly, but it’s hard to find a better way to characterize 2013-2014. This was the year in which Simon never missed a day from illness, didn’t have any weepy days brought on by his own […]
