Emily is going to camp sponsored by the YMCA. It's a 2 week day camp 8 AM to 4 PM. Every day they have swim lessons, and do all kinds of campy stuff (she comes home singing weird songs alot).

Anyway on her first day when I picked her up I asked her counselor how she did that day. She said she did well and in fact had gotten a bullseye at archery. Our girl is a star, I knew this all along. But, I was surprised they did archery. So I asked the counselor, "You give arrows to 4 year olds?". Yes they do, small ones. And its one kid to one grown up and all the other kids are out of range.

So, look for Emily on the 2020 US Olympic archery team.

Emily is starting to realize her power as oldest sibling....

Imagine any evening, 7:30 PM..... the kids are in bed and all is quiet ....until.....

Emily: (whispering) Ethan, call for Dad.

Ethan: (whispering) Daddy

Emily: (whispering) No, no. Go to the door, say it louder!

Ethan: (screaming) DA- DDY!! DA- DDY!! DA- DDY!!!

Emily: (laughing) Keep saying it.

She's a trouble maker that one!

All in all having them share a room has been pretty good, so far. Ethan really likes being in there with her and gets upset if he has to go to bed without her. And he has finally stopped sleeping on the floor, so things are good. Now if he would just sleep past 5:30 AM.
