  • A very quick update, as I need to jump into the shower.  B started his new job yesterday.  So far he likes it.  Although he will be in training for about 3 weeks.  He did have one bad thing happen on his first day... someone took his lunch .  He was NOT happy about that.  And here we are trying to be economical by taking our lunches to work.  Oh well.

    We are still trying to work out the kinks to our morning schedule.  We both have to wake up earlier, which we both aren't liking too much.  It is more difficult on me, since I am experiencing some insomnia now.  All of last week I woke up at 4:30, and couldn't really go back to sleep.  Thus far this week it has been around 3:30.  Uhg!  And I can't have any coffee!  B brewed some coffee this morning... and the smell is driving me nuts!

    On to happier... funny things...

    Last week J had a full on tantrum in the grocery store over raspberries.  So of course B had to buy them.  She had another tantrum when he handed the raspberries to the clerk to be rung up, and continued the tantrum all the way home until he washed some and gave them to her.  At least she is having tantrums over fruit and not chocolate!

    We have introduced the potty to her, since she has shown some interest in it.  Silly child believes she has to be completely naked to sit on it.  The other night she went and got the toilet paper and tore off a big section.  She then ripped it into smaller pieces and put it in her potty.  Finally she waded up some of the toilet paper and wiped her bottom, then threw it in her potty.  She still hasn't gone in it, but she is starting to learn the concept.

    Thursday night while playing with her potty she was able to correlate farting with pooping.  Later that evening B farted.  J then said her first sentence... "Daddy pooped."  We just about fell over!

    She is like a little parrot now, repeating lots of words.  On Sunday, as we were leaving B's parents, his dad said, "see yah!"  J repeated it back.  Yesterday she started with her own version of "where are you," which sounds like "are you."

    On Saturday I went to a scrapbooking crop, and I worked on J's Disney album.  I did about 9 pages in about 4 hours... but I also did lots of shopping, chatting, and eating.  Sunday I showed J what I had done in her album.  She enjoyed looking at the pictures, and pointed out Mama and Daddy.  When we were done I closed it and went to put it away.  J threw a fit, and started yelling "mine!" over and over again.  I guess she liked it!

    Finally, yesterday when I was getting ready to take her to day care, she didn't want to get in the car.  I asked her if she was ready to see Gama, J said "no," and shook her head.  I then asked her if she was ready to see Papa, she nodded her head yes, and got in the car.

    She continues to be a great joy, with lots of laughter and silly smiles.  She charmed the Rabbi's family during Rosh Hashanah, they were ready to take her with them!  She even clapped a few times during services when the singing was done.

    Well, I have 15 minutes to shower and do something with my hair before J wakes up.  Bye for now...
