It sounds as a great plan for Smallsteps! 
You will have too much to write about.
It is great you will have more time to expend together, she will for sure appreciate it forever. 
Enjoy the summer!

I hope you are able to make the most of the time you have with her.  I honestly thought your stroke was longer ago than that.  It's great that you seem to be recovering fairly well.  We still have two half days of school left, then I get to work on all of my summer stuff with the kids and students gone.

Absolutely, summer break is a priceless time for parents and their kids especially with all the pressures from work and life.

I agree that the biggest challenge is for full-time working parents especially with short summer vacations and limited affordable childcare options.

As a parent staying around kids in their tender age is always a beautiful moment for them because that is actually the time most parents dedicate their time in staying with them. Smallsteps is actually growing up as she can actually do somethings on her own if she stays alone and probably she might not be bothered but you know as kids they like to explore which gives them happiness especially when hanging out with friends.

> The point is that we have a slice of opportunity to spend time together, and who knows if we will get another chance.

Our favorite neighbor often jokes that she may fall in her garden some day. I keep on telling her that she will still live at least 10 more years. She has various health problems but keeps on going. Impressive really.

Different term/holiday system.  We do 10 week terms with two week breaks at quarter, mid and three quarters and end of year is like 6-8 weeks or something.  The kids I know (including my homeschooled lot who only followed school terms because gymnastics runs on school terms otherwise the closest we get is bunkering down a bit in school holidays as everything is insane then) reckon this one is preferable as they think not having the occasional breaks in between would cause them to burn out moreso than they already are.  As far as I'm aware the ones I know don't have direct experience with anything other than the system we have over here but I do know that some of them have friends that have relocated here or elsewhere and also have online friends.

Actually when we would have been at school it might have been 12 week terms as I do recall it getting shorter at some point.  Or maybe that was just at uni as I remember the one I was going to at the time calling them "shorter, smarter semesters" which most people attributed to less teaching time while charging the same amount (which understandable, but from memory the lecturers were available for the same amount of time, you could just make appointments with them to discuss anything you were having problems with/wanted to talk about rather than just seeing them in class and there was supposed to be more individual study time but uni students fresh out of school and desperate for freedom to "do whatever they wanted" and not be scheduled to within inches of their were unlikely to realise/use that).

Your summer plans sound pretty good.

4 weeks is not too bad in terms of vacation. Most companies in US start with one or two weeks of vacation...

It's shaping up to be a great summer for both of you!  Actually, all three of you as your wife will not worry about where Smallsteps would have to go.   I'm sure Smallsteps is old enough to remember this Summer of Fun and what great bonding time for her and you!    Hooray for summer vacation :D

How many days of summer vacation did you have when you were a child? In Soviet times we had 3 months of summer vacation. Now my children also have 3 months of summer vacation.

We have kindergartens here to take care kids while their parents at work, which has been as much expensive as a private school.

One of the benefits of remote working is that parents (especially wife) can both take care of kid/s and work during the day, thus jobs or departments which provide remote working are demanded for this reason here.
