Summer! All I have to say is “Thank you sweet Jesus”!
For what it is worth, Andrés passed 7th grade. Maybe not every class, but he passed. Good enough for now! In terms of school my plan is to look into co-ed teaching classes. A friend works for the district and suggested I look into that route. I know he’s overwhelmed with school and he totally checked out early this June. Oh well, it’s temporally over! We both need the break.
Vacation started with a bang in more ways than one. I’ll just focus on the good stuff. UB soccer camp. After day 1, he told me that he would never play soccer again. On day 5 he asked if he could go back again next year! I’m glad it worked out. It was great he had another friend from FANA with him as well. They told me that the coaches called them the “Colombianos”.
It was a joy to see Andrés play on the town soccer league last Thursday. He was much more confident on the field. Pretty cool! Since breaking his tibia last year his ankle/foot is still in rough shape. I took him to the pediatrician because Andres was limping and really swollen. The Doctor said it was just inflammation and to take 600 mg of motrin and ice, as needed. We might need to follow up with an x-ray soon to double check everything.
For the next 2 weeks he’ll be attending an ESL camp to work on English and learn a little about Buffalo’s history. I hope he has fun and learns a little more “stuff”.
We will be celebrating his 14th birthday at Darien Lake on July 16th. I hope it doesn’t rain! He asked for a laptop. I wonder why? (Inside joke to a select group of friends.)
It’s wild to think I just met Andrés 2 years ago. It seems like he has been in this family forever! That being said, I better get back to the 4th of July family bonding.
As always, thanks for reading our adoption blog!
