An Update.

It has been so long, I forgot my password to get in here! I think I am ready to start posting again.

So an update...

Jason is 11 months old! can you believe it? Wow how this year flew by. He is walking and becoming less a baby and more a little boy every day. He is even saying a few words, currently his favorites are Ball, (said more like baaalll) Dada, and nana (for banana). I think his next word will be tree, he is almost getting it as we can't walk by a tree with out him pointing at it and attempting to say it. Plans are in the works for his 1st birthday party. I think it will be a low-key affair, mostly family and a few special friend invites. I remember the mayhem of my niece's 1st birthday and don't really want to repeat that.

Paul has really embraced fatherhood as of late. As Jason has become easier to please, or rather we can figure out what he needs a bit better. A little blatant finger pointing has also helped. And we *gasp* took away the soother. Now I am not saying soothers are evil and should be banned from the earth. But in Jason's case, I have a sneaking suspicion that my having to get up several times a night, crawling around on the floor in the dark has something to do with his soother. It happened by accident really, I forgot it one day while Jason was at daycare, We were afraid, the daycare ladies were afraid... but later that day they said he actually did ok with out it. So Paul and I saw it as our opportunity. So we pulled the plug, And we have all had a better sleep for it.

Now for me, I went back to work early... now why on earth would I do that??!! The biggest reason would be $$$$. But I did secure a fantastic job instructing nursing students, so far it has been great. Not to mention my very own desk! It took me a few weeks to stop telling people that I was going to the washroom. Those of you fellow nurses would understand.

I'm hoping to resume posting now that life has settled a little bit.

Talk to you soon!... I hope.
