It's Safety City!

Summer is in full swing at Casa de Pesty, and with it brings a full summer with something going on every day.

For the past two weeks, Aron and Alyssa have been doing one of every child's summer rite of passage, Safety Town. Who has not rode around the little buildings in big wheels while obeying the "Stop" signs and practicing their arm signals for stop, left, and right turns? Every day brings a new topic, such as crossing the street, stranger danger, and railroad crossing. The funny thing is is that my kids seem to be the teacher's pet because I have been working with them at home previous to this summer's class. I have one child who knows his phone number and most of his address while the other one knows she lives two houses down from Leela. (Leela is a neighborhood girl who is about 10 months younger than A2.) That's my kids for you, one analytical as you can get while the other is currently running around the yard hugging trees with no shoes on.
