I have a workout I do with Basil that I call the Dogout. The name “Dogout” makes me unreasonably happy because of the multiple meanings. It rhymes with workout, I’m getting the dog out, and since it is around 4 softball diamonds, I’m also working out right next to dugouts.
Today I brought Mary with me after a conversation with Lily in which she encouraged me to transfer my ability of running to the children. It was so fun to run with Mary. We jogged to the softball diamonds, and I did some sprinting, including two races with her. In the races, I would run the outer circle along the fence, and she would run the inner circle around the dirt, and she beat me by a hair! It was so fun to race her! She played on the monkey bars while I did my pull-ups.
Also, I’m so happy Lily put Ammon in dance as he has such a gift for it. Here is a picture of him in practice today.
Also, we all went to the dentist today. We learned that Lydia’s tooth had nerve damage when she fell hard during a school fun-run/race. She was all bloody, and came home from school early. As I understand it her friend made a sharp turn, and Lydia either tried to also turn, but tripped, or bumped into her or something like that, I’m not totally sure of the details. Anyway, the dentist said the tooth will operate just fine, but it will not feel hot and cold, and it will have some discoloration which we can try to address later if we want to. Lydia had such a great attitude about it all.
Here is a video of the kids looking at the fish tank:
