Day 1661. This morning the alarm went off at 7:15 as usual, but Sammy was up before that, and Randy got up to get him out of bed and then make breakfast for everyone. I had a second alarm set for 8:45 am, but they kept coming to me before that. I then got up, got them and myself ready, and at 9:15 Randy, the kids and I left the house.

Day 1660. It's been such a long day! After a short night, I had to get up early, at 7:45, to get the kids and myself ready to leave the house at 8:15. Randy and Sammy always leave the house at that time, as Randy was taking him to kindergarten - today it was the first time in over a week. They left just before us, but we all walked to the subway.

Day 1659. Yesterday was Sunday, and the only Sunday of this month where they had their swim class. The teacher's goal is for all the kids to be able to swim without rings this summer, and they're well on their way there. Tammy and Emmy do really well now, when they try to swim on their own. She showed them the arm movement again, but it's not easy.
