2012 has already brought about several changes (good and bad, depending on how you look at it) in our household. Some of you may already know that after 4 1/2 years at Kindercare, I was let go as a teacher last Friday. Great way to start the new year huh? Long story but without going into too much detail, hopefully this will be a blessing in disguise for me and my family. While I miss my kids at school a ton, I have had a chance to "teach" and be blessed by my own kids. Due to working at 6:45am for the last three years, I have never been able to help get Kayla off to school. Adam has done an amazing job at this since his schedule allowed for it. So for the last three weeks I have got to get up with Kayla and get her out the door to school. I have learned that her and daddy had a routine that I have apparently messed with it but I think she is getting used to it. This also means that I get to fix her hair. I know, seems kind of lame to be excited about but I haven't got to do that for some time. She grumbles every morning when I want to do something different but for the most part is a trooper and lets me play for a bit. The biggest change obviously is that I get to stay home with my little man and I am loving it!! I do have to add here though that one two year old seems to be much more exhausting than my 6 five year olds. He is one busy little boy and keeps me on my toes at all moments. I think we are getting close to a "new' schedule at home and Michael enjoys being with both mommy and daddy till daddy goes to work. He is sleeping in till at least 8 (He got up with me at 6:30 before) and goes down for a nap around 1pm. This actually consists of playing in his room till 2pm and then napping till 3:30 or so. We will be looking into purchasing a darkening shade for his room. I know he took longer naps than that at school : )
I am not a new years resolution person, never have been. I have decided while I am home though, I need to be better about blogging. (My brother in law would agree, right Eric? : ) I know, how many times have you heard me say this before? So I guess I can kind of consider this a new years resolution even though it is already the 11th day of the year and this is my first one. My other resolution should involve eating better and exercising. I am going to start by getting out and taking a walk with Michael during the day. I really have no more excuses as to why I am not doing it. I just need to get out there and do it!!
