Mark it down

Today was AA first day of daycare. Much like every milestone or change, he took it in stride. He didn't cry, whimper, or even think twice about it. This is also the week he started sleeping in a toddler bed. No tears or no real problems. We are raising a very calm child. All praise goes to God!!!!

Re-do

When I was younger, my friend and I used to call out "re-do" or "do-over" when we did something wrong or poorly the first time. We often used it to our advantage in sport when we were competing. A lazy ground ball in wiffle ball , an air ball playing H-O-R-S-E, or even a botched attempt at a jump with our bikes often led to us announcing a "re-do." Well, in my professional life, I am officially announcing a "re-do." This friday, the 20th, is my last day of work in my current profession. I am switching gears and becoming a teacher, not just any teacher, but an elementary school teacher. Although work in the mental health field will serve me well, I am anxious to start something new and different. This "re-do" has required much preparation with schooling and testing but I think that I am ready to go for it. However, in retrospect,when I was younger, "re-do s" didn't cost near as much money.

How I wish

I still had my transformer toys. Some would be worth mega $$$. Just in passing, if you haven't seen the new movie, it would be well worth it to see. IT IS AMAZING!!!!

Back to the daily grind

Since we last posted, a lot has occurred. AA took his first visit to the ocean and absolutely loved it. He was fearless as he ran in and out chasing waves. Sand? Well after a couple of mouthfuls he quickly realized that it was more fun to walk on than eat. He loved waking up with his family in the next room and needless to say, he ate everything in sight. As for the family, I have resigned and am anxious to start teaching. RA is now fulltime and will be the breadwinner after July. Things are changing. Check back for further details.
