Didn't do anything good this summer?

I couldn't believe when the words came out of JJ's mouth that we didn't do anything good this summer! What?! Is this what he will tell your teacher when she asks? I asked what about the beach, the pools, carnival/fair/festival, family get togethers, the cruise, seeing an alligator in real life, movies, etc. He then "remembered" of course, but it shocked me that this child can do more in 1 summer than some kids get to do their whole childhood! Thankfully he is still young, I can chalk some of it up to his age, but I will stand by my parenting ideal that my kids will not grow up expecting the wonderful things they get to experience in life, that they don't take for granted what they have been blessed with! I know unfortunately we have had a lot of meetings and errands revolving around 3 of the other kids, but what we have done with them fun has more than offset that!
