I guess I got a little wrapped up in things, so I will try to start up where I left off. (Leaving out names and identifiable things.) J will be three months old in four days and I can hardly believe it. He's growing so fast it's unbelievable.
I am starting to do sign language with him, I figured it's never too early to start. It is going to be so handy when he finally starts doing it. I assume it will take a lot of frustration out of trying to convey what he wants to me. We have a pretty good routine worked out, it's so nice to be a stay at home mom. I am trying to get him on a sleep schedule, but I gathered that as log as I have the means and ability to let him go at his own pace I should do it as long as possible. I have been working with him on strength and coordination in the bath tub. He loves the water so I think that's the best place to start teaching him things. Plus, after one of our "sessions," it wears him out so much he usually sleeps for 10 or 12 hours.
I am not sure what to write about any more because nothing new ever really happens. I'm still a single mom, still going to school. Well, no school this term but I will be going back Winter term. Still working on my degree in Corrections and got offered a really sweet volunteer position at the District Attorney's office. I'm pretty happy about it. It's tough to get your foot in the door in this town anywhere in the criminal justice system. You have to know people, or at least know people who know people. I'm thinking this is me wedging my foot in.
So many of my friends are pregnant right now it seems. It makes me want another baby even more. Some of them I'm a little scared about because I don't think they can handle it, at least not for very long. I think everyone should be a parent if they are capable and have the motivation. I fear for some of these peoples future children. But others are going to do great and I wish them well. I'm so excited for a certain couple that moved up north a while back. I can't wait to find out what they are having in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking a lot about trying for another baby. I think I will probably try to have one in the next two years or so.
I guess this is really just an update. I'm not really in the mood to write. I should be updating this at least every other day, though. I'm sure I'll spit out something interesting pretty soon.
