Summer Bucket List 2015 (and goals)

Since summer is here and well, it is already mid June, I thought it appropriate to create a summer bucket list, just like last year. Clara's school goes year round, so our schedule won't really change at all. Yet I think I need a little boost in intentionality for Camille on weekdays, and then for both girls on the weekends.

So here it is. . . summer bucket list 2015. I'll update with pictures/posts as we check items off our list. (Not too much is different from our list last year, but most every item will be "new" for Camille, since she was just a wee thing last summer.)

SUMMER BUCKET LIST 2015

SPLASH PAD

ZOO

AQUARIUM/CHILDREN'S MUSEUM 

MAGNOLIA POOL (toddler friendly pool in our area)

BAYOU BEND WILDLIFE PARK 

TODDLER TIME AT LIBRARY

SNO-CONES or FROZEN YOGURT 

MCDONALDS PLAY AREA

FINGER PAINT

HOST A PLAY DATE (w/ lots of friends)

RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS (TBD!)

These pictures crack me up!

I also created a few summer goals for the girls. Not with the intent that each will be mastered in a few months, but just so we can be purposeful in working towards important life skills/items. We currently do all of these things, but (I especially) need a visual reminder so we can work a little bit harder from day to day. Some of these might sound silly, although several are quite hard/stressful for Clara.

• Incorporate plate at meals
• Introduce spoon (at least for Camille)
• Hand washing
• Teeth brushing
• Less toys/distractions at mealtimes
• PECS training (Clara)
• Potty (Clara, 30 seconds a day w/ toy. Just getting her comfortable. Nowhere close to officially potty training.)

HAPPY SUMMER!! What items are on your summer list?
