Are we ready?

Well this first 9 weeks of Camerons new bid is going to be stressful for both of us, not only is it a new shift for him, but I am starting classes at SCC, and I am going to start teaching a class at Prairie life, on Monday nights for Pilates. Even though I am very excited part of me is very nervous as well, it is going to be a lot to take on for the next nine weeks class every day of the week except Wed, and then teaching a class on top of taking one on Mondays. Cameron is going to be more of the care giver than I will for the next 3 months or so. I am going to miss the time that I usually get to spend with Alex, but hopefully this nine weeks will go fast, and I just have to remember that it is only for nine weeks. Only nine weeks. It won't be too bad. I just hope it doesn't send Cameron running back to nights, because it will mean more time with the family less time alone, and he seems to really need his alone time. But like I said only nine weeks, (I think I am trying to make it ok in my head)

Well we are approaching Alex's 2nd birthday, wow I can't believe I am the proud parent of a 2 year old, and although I don't know how smart other kids are I am pretty sure mine is a genius. Ok so I am biased! But it just amazes me what he can do and how much he absorbs. He can count to 10 by himself, sometimes forgets seven or eight, but not often. spells his name, the short version, and repeats everything, knows some colors, and will tell you the titles of the books he wants to read. I realize this is probably normal for an almost two year old but to me he is the smartest two year old ever! lol OH and shapes he know shapes, circle triangle and square... I know I know it is just me being the proud mom, but I don't care, I am constantly in awe of the things he picks up on.

We have our last Christmas gathering on Sunday with my dad, we are going to smoke some prime rib and just hang out for the evening , so it should be a good time and pretty laid back. and then we are done with family parties till Alex's birthday which I still don't know what we are going to do. I wish I had a bigger house to host these types of gatherings, oh well we will just have to make do. Ta ta for now.
