It's a Girl!
We will be welcoming a niece in February! Jake and Cita found out today. I cannot wait! Now...I have to wait to find out about my other niece/nephew at the time Meredith gives birth. That's no fun! :)

Tired
I realize I always write about the great things. Today I am plain tired. Ryan woke up at 4am and was awake until 6. My alarm was set for 6:15 since I helped with a training this morning and wanted to do some things before it started. He has been a bit out of sorts since his well appt on Wed, which included shots. He normally wakes up talking and happy and he has been crying. This morning he was inconsolable. He just fell asleep for his nap and it took him a half hour to calm down and fall asleep. About 30 minutes into it he was crying out but eyes were closed. I did nothing and he is back to sleep. I checked him out (body, fingers, toes) and all seems ok. He usually hangs out and falls asleep quietly. He is not feverish. I hate when stuff like this happens and you don't know what to do. You know something isn't right and you just want to make everything better. Sometimes it just isn't easy.

Our Weekend- In Order of Importance
We spent the weekend in Anaheim for Craig and Bernie's wedding. It was a beautiful event. The two were absolutely beaming and every detail was stunning. How wonderful to see two people who are so in love, start their new life together.
Originally we had no plans to go to Disneyland but when I called to make reservations where Craig had a block of rooms we learned that it was DIRECTLY across the street from Disneyland. Sooo....we borrowed the Russell mini van and made the drive down south.
We had an awesome weekend! Haley loved Disneyland. She wants nothing to do with the rides although she did the merry go round and Dumbo. She loved Toon Town and Tarzan's treehouse and meeting Mickey and Minnie. We saw a Pixar parade and a disney show live. It was just so delightful to see Haley in such amazement and excitement. Ryan was a champ. Took a few cat naps in the pack and took in the sights.
We had a wonderful family weekend. I could have posted 100 pictures from it!
Thanks for getting married Craig and Bernie!

Bath Times
I love giving the kids baths. There is something magical that happens during that time when you can really see kids in their elements. This was the experience the other night.
Ryan- put him in the bath and he lays still for about 1 minute, smiling the whole time. Once the water touches his ears he'll start talking to himself. I am sure this is because it sounds so different in the water. He will kick and splash and let out long, happy sighs. Haley WAS NOT like this at 4 months. She was either worried or crying and if any water even touched close to her face, it was over. Ryan's favorite part is being wrapped up in a hooded towel afterward.
Haley- She got herself undressed, used the restroom and started the faucet by herself. I assisted in getting the right temperature. She hopped in the bath and picked up two ducks right away. They started talking...
Duck #1: Hi there duck, do you want to read a book with me?
Duck #2: sure! what book?
1: How about the 3 bears?
2: sure
(duck 1 tells duck 2 about the 3 bears)
1: ok. the story is over. wanna snack?
2: do you have any grapes?
1: let me check (swims to the other side of bath and comes back) yep! let's eat! (ducks eat).
1: Do you want to fall in love?
2. Yes
Ducks kiss and then dance in the water.
Apparently you just need a good book and a snack to fall in love. That sounds about right.
I love bath time.

Old?
I have always sworn that I would never say "I'm getting old" or "I feel old." I must say that there have been some things that have happened recently that make me want to say "I am getting old."
1. A student today said that Nintendo was around with the dinosaurs. I remember replacing our Atari with a Nintendo and playing Super Mario Bros 24/7.
2. I have been in touch with a student from my first dyear of teaching. She is a junior in college, 21 years old! She is becoming a teacher.
3. My current students were born in 1998. They were 3 during 9/11 and DO NOT remember it!
4. Lauren spent 30 mins plucking gray hairs from my head.
I do not feel old, but these things have been friendly reminders that I am not in my 20s anymore. I am lovin' the 30s though!
