Exercise? Calvin got sick for the first time in months and Hurricane Hermine put a major damper on the end of the week, so lots of walking on the treadmill this week.
Looking forward to: My next doctor appointment! It's unfortunately my glucose test, but any opportunity to check up on our little guy is exciting!

Calvin started school this past Tuesday and had the best day! No tears at drop off, and was happy as can be when I picked him up (great reports from his teachers as well!). Sadly, he woke up the very next morning with a fever only to then find out he has strep throat (didn't take long, right?). Not that he would have gone to school Thursday, but schools were then canceled the rest of the week due to Hurricane Hermine. We just got a lot of rain and some gusty winds, nothing major. So hopefully next week will be a better week and Calvin can get back into the school groove!

I'm actually really looking forward to that too...summer has been so much fun and I've loved every minute of it, but I am looking forward to our routine getting back to normal. 

Calvin graduated from Gymboree this week! I can't believe he's been going since he was 7 months old!
He has grown up so much!

Looking forward to: Calvin's Gymboree class will be ending soon, so I've enrolled him in a gymnastics class at a local gym that starts Monday. He has been to a few birthday parties at similar gyms and always had the best time, so I'm pretty sure he will really love this class.
I'm looking forward to the next two weeks of just me and Calvin, since school starts on the 30th. I was so nervous about an entire summer of no set structure, no school and lots of traveling, but I have to say that it has flown by! I can't believe summer is almost over :(.

Here are a few snapshots from our week in Longboat...

 

Happiest kid I know!

Looking forward to: Vacation at the beach next week! We're headed down to Longboat Key this weekend for some sun and fun. This summer has been far busier than I ever anticipated, so I'm looking forward to just hanging out together as a family for a week :).
I've also been feeling a bit emotional the last few days and I'm 100% blaming pregnancy hormones! Who would have thought that potty training and swimming lessons could get me feeling this way, but I just couldn't be prouder of Calvin. We locked ourselves in the house this past weekend to attempt potty training, and Calvin totally rocked it! It definitely started a little rocky, but by Sunday, he was telling me when he had to go, and we even ventured to Target with no accidents! He has been doing awesome ever since!
He also started taking swim lessons for the first time when school ended (beginning of June), and has progressed and learned so much very quickly. He graduated to level three yesterday! So between that, his potty training success, and now knowing another boy is on the way, my heart couldn't be fuller. I am looking forward to spending these last few months with just Calvin before the baby arrives, and very much looking forward to meeting our new little guy and beginning our lives as a family of four :)
