We've had a pretty rough start to summer. Kara had a make up T-ball game the first week of June. About halfway through the game, she started complaining to Dad that she was feeling hot. He thought she was just a little warm because it was hot outside and told her to drink more water. When we got home, she still said she was hot. Come to find out, she had a fever of 103°F! She was supposed to have another game that Saturday, but her fever was just not going down and she developed a pretty rough cough. We took her to the doctor's office after about 5 days of 100+°F fever where she was finally diagnosed with pneumonia. Once we got Kara on some medication, her fever went down after a couple of days, and she started feeling much better. She was supposed to go to music camp the second week of June. Camp
Oonie Koonie Cha is a music-centric camp for kids. The theme this year was the Old West, and Kara really didn't want to miss it! Fortunately, they had some openings the next week, and Kara was able to change weeks when she felt better. Kara had a great time at the camp and intends to do it again next year (the camp next year will be jungle-themed). She also attended a rock-themed birthday later in the month where the kids could get on stage and sing Karaoke. Kara had a blast getting up and singing songs (there were a lot of Taylor Swift songs and other singers Dad has never heard of).
Emily's also had a rough start to summer. Early in June, Dad took Mom out for a nice dinner for her birthday and left the girls with Grandma and Grandpa S for the evening. Soon after Grandma had put her down, Emily got her foot stuck in one of the slats on her toddler bed. Apparently, she got it really stuck, and it took quite the effort for Grandpa to get her foot out. After that, she refused to get back into her toddler bed, so Dad had to take the bed apart that evening, and Emily just slept on the mattress. Compounding Emily's issues with her bed, she simply hasn't been sleeping very well recently (even before the bed incident). At least twice a week, she'll wake up crying hysterically in the middle of the night, and no matter what Mom and Dad do, she won't calm down. We're thinking this is just a phase, but we'll see...
The weather, in general, was quite warm for the month of June, but not too hot. We got out the sprinklers a couple of times. By the end of the month, things were looking up, so let's hope we continue to have a fun summer into July!
