Squeezing One More In


Man, you can tell life is a little more hectic since I am trying hard to squeeze in at least 3 posts for the month of February. It used to be 5-6 posts a month. Oh well.

We decided on the more pre-school type daycare for B man. I feel more comfortable knowing that she has done this for years and that there is another adult with her. Now we got to get all the paper work and doctors notes together. Never realized how much information they need, but it is a good thing, don't want my child hanging around some non-immunized kid, haha.

B has become pretty funny lately. He laughs at a lot of things. One thing that is really funny to him is farting. Yes, I know I shouldn't encourage it but it is pretty funny. They other day I thought I heard him wake from his nap and when I got closer to his room I heard him laughing and saying "poooh". I quietly opened the door and saw him lying there laughing while pinching his nose closed and saying "pooooh". And boy did it stink. Sure enough he pooped his pants and it was stinky. He also thinks it is so funny when Daddy asks him to pull his finger and he farts. Boys?!?! I won't even tell you about the new fascination with his boy parts, I don't want to embarrass him, but according to other mothers of boys, it IS normal. Oh yeah, B also laughs at pictures of other kids doing funny things. For instance, we went to the library and I got him this book called "Baby Giggles". There are these two kids that he always laughs at. One has her teddy bear on her head and the other is picking her nose. B thinks the girl with her finger in her nose is hilarious. He only wants you to read that page and he will laugh at it for 5 mins straight. B does have the most adorable giggle. I love it!

Day Care choices.

I guess I better post something before the month is up.As you can see the amount of blogs are getting shorter and shorter. They only new thing going on now is that B will go to daycare. We have interview 4 in home daycare places and I've talked to/visited 3 daycare centers. I hope this is enough. Because of the lack of days we need care for B man we decided to go with an at home daycare. For anyone that knows what it is like to try and decide which place is best for your precious baby, then you know it can be a struggle. I am going back and forth on two very nice ladies but very different ladies. One is real structured, has a curriculum, years of experience, and an assistant. The other was really welcoming and warm, reached out for B and held him, loves her adopted 2 yr old son about as much as I love B (we pretty much cried at our interview talking about how much we love our boys.). They both have a really good areas set up at their house and are licensed and follow the regulations on number of kids and what to feed the kids. What I didn't like about #1 was she didn't seem as nurturing to B, didn't say hi to him and wouldn't hold him. What I didn't like about the other lady is her lack of experience (just opened this year). I'm sure B will do great at either place and come home just fine, but I can't help but think that maybe I could open a daycare at my house? Then my sister reminded me that I wouldn't be good at it. ;-)

So we go around and around on the who is best for B and where he would fit in the best. AHHHH so hard to
decide.
(first day of daycare a week later).

New Things Going On Here

There are a couple exciting things going on right now in our lives. The first excited thing is that I get a sister in-law. I've never had one before (haha I have all sisters and just kept gaining brother in laws ;-) ). Adam and Cari will marry on February 11th and I can't be more excited and want to wish them a life time of happiness together. Also, B is going to get two cousins out of the deal, no not twins. Cari has a 6 year old from a previous relationship and is pregnant again! The newest addition with arrive in late September. What a blessing. Now if only I could get knocked up with her... that would be so fun. I was pregnant with my sister and it was nice to talk to someone who understood how you felt.

On a lighter note but another good note, B has more than six teeth now! I noticed he was chewing on his fingers a lot and biting things, but every time I looked at his teeth (the ones in front) I never noticed any neighbors coming in. Honestly I was getting a little worried he would only have the top 4 and the bottom 2 forever, but that's what I do, worry. We were playing around together the other day and he was laughing and I thought I saw some food in his mouth. I stuck my finger back there and sure enough he has a molar! Three that is. One on each side up top and one on the bottom left. I wonder when the middle ones will fill in? AWWW my little chomper. Surprisingly things haven't been too rough with those coming in, like I said just more drooling and chewing on fingers. Speaking of fingers, I am crossing mine that it wont get any worse for him. He's is getting so big and smart. I just love him.
