Default Happy Dance...

I'm officially averaging an "A" in both of my classes for the semester. I am SO happy - especially after taking a nearly 10 year hiatus.


Also, daycare is keeping Noah until 11 PM tonight. They host a parents' night out the first Friday of each month for $15 (for 4 hrs care). They feed him dinner and put him to sleep. Waahoo!

That's great on the "A" average

So are you no longer using your "nanny"?

Great job, Val!!

It's so difficult to get back into the swing of being both student and parent. I have done it successfully (after a 12 year hiatus!) but I am not working. You are a great inspiration to me! I don't think I could manage to raise a kid, work a "real job" AND go to school. Kudos to you!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

After the nanny (nanny number THREE) became unreliable, we transitioned into a really elite childcare "academy," called Star Child Academy.

They make the preschoolers wear uniforms!! I love how they push, push, push Noah. In fact, at 21 months (18 corrected), they're upset that he still uses a sippy. He's supposed to use an open cup only. OMG!

Of course, life happens.....so keep your fingers crossed that this arrangement works!!

Well - 36 years ago they didn't have sippy cups - I don't think they did anyway - and all the kids in my family were drinking out of open cups by 12 months. That was considered normal then. I think th sippy is more of a convenience to parents and lets kids drag drinks with them vs being limited to drinking in the kitchen.
