My knee hurts. So. MUCH.
And I can’t tell if it’s the knee or the hamstring or, god help me, both. The knee hurts in front and underneath, and the hamstring kind of hurts on the side. Bad news, in any case.
Took Austin body-boarding today. Um. Could’ve gone better, but Austin needed to be able to see the bottom of the water (not really an option in the ocean) to really feel comfortable, so we ended up going over to where the river opens onto the ocean (a place full of disease, I am given to understand– hopefully our limited contact will preserve us!) and getting a couple of kids who were skimboarding there to teach him the basics. Once he did that and got a sense of it, he did really well and had a lot of fun.
I have to keep reminding myself that he is only six years old. It’s not that he seems older than his years but that I keep thinking he will act older than six. But he’s six. And I love that he’s six. He’s so much fun right now!
