Holy, moly...another week gone by!?!?

Geez, have I turned into a once-a-week blogger? Oh noooooooo! ;)

We have had another FULL week. I haven't had any sitters this week for BC, but actually, it has been alright. I think he's beginning to understand when it's time for me to work (talk on the phone!) and when it's time to play. I also decided that he is much more content when I bring my work computer out to the family room, instead of working away in the den. I'm happy to do that if that makes him happier! :)

Work is going well...I'm getting into a groove, but still things take me a lot of time. I am enjoying it...it really feels good to be working again and making some money! Things will only get easier once Bear Cub starts school...a week from Tuesday!

Speaking of school, we went to his Open House tonight. This is a new preschool for him and I am feeling so good about it! It's church-based and they have a weekly Bible theme tied into their curriculum. He'll also attend chapel weekly. :) His teacher seems so very nice and has been a pre-k teacher for 25 years!! Talk about experience! :) He liked his room, was a disappointed that there weren't any "wheeled toys" as he put it, but was happy to check the whole room out and find his name on his cubby and the birthday chart. And to my happiness, they had his name spelled correctly on all of it! (At his school last year, they did not... :( )

Next week I am back for the second part of my new job training. I'll stay overnight, as it's a 2-day training. BC will be with Mimi (thank you, Mimi Bear!) for that night. I'm looking forward to this training since it'll be about a month out of the first one and I don't think it will be nearly as overwhelming as the first. I'm getting there!

Some funny Bear Cub-isms:

BC and Daddy went to the pool and as they were getting out, BC asked, "Do you smell that Daddy?"

Daddy: What?

BC: Pine needles...

Daddy: Yea, I do smell that, actually.

BC: I like the way that smells!

(His sniffer works!)

--------------------------------------

Tonight at his Open House, he was working on making a butterfly with the assistant teacher. He was told he could pick one pipe cleaner for the antennae, but he was adamant about choosing two. He finally told his teacher, "But butterflies have TWO antennae!" They got a kick out of that, and sure enough...he got his 2 pipe cleaners. :)

When talking about his new school the other night, BC had these 3 questions for me:

1. Will I go to school everyday, Mommy? --- Yes

2. Will I still be able to have breakfast at home? --- Yes

...and my FAVORITE... "Will I still have time to snuggle with you, Mommy?" YES, YES, YES!

My sweet, sweet boy...he has a spicy streak in him, but at the core, he's as sweet as sugar. :)

Pictures to come soon, I promise!
