First day @daycare

Karsen had a sad first day at school.Poor baby. But today wasn't to bad. He played and is getting really attached to his teacher, Miss Elizabeth. I was a mess yesterday and came home in tears . Rob said You don't like it? "No, my baby don't like it." I didn't sleep much worrying What will tomorrow be like? And he was just fine.Except now he cries when his favorite teacher leaves the room. Thats fine by me.:)

One last Pony ride.

We spent saturday at the Pumpkin Patch.It was a nice day and we all were looking forward to just being outside. I relized today just how my Hunter has grown.He wanted to enjoy all the things that karsen did. He wanted to act so excited to see the pumpkin "dude"But when he came over to us Hunter had to demand just a high five. When karsen went to ride the ponies, He asked can I ride mom or Am I to big?He had this look in his poor little blue eyes that said "Mom, please let me ride."I was so relieved when the lady said Yeah he can ride.because I honestly think It would have broke my heart if she said "no".But I do believe that this will be Hunter's last pony ride.

Inspiration

My sister-n-law, Jenny, made a video for Karsens first birthday. It was so sweet. But what touched me the most is that at the beginning It said your my inspiration. Jenny has not been around a lot of children . My brother and her want to have children but she was a little nervous. Like every first mom. When I found out I was pregnant with Karsen, it was her first time getting to see first hand what pregnancy was all about. She took picture of my belly each and every month. SHe made videos of my baby showers. She recorded karsen before he turned one and at his first birthday party.
I can't say thank-you enough to her. She has made my last pregnancy a great memory.To see that Karsen has inspired her to have her own children touches me deeply. I love you, guys. I hope you make me a Aunt real soon. Karsen needs a cousin to play with>.

First Day At work.

Yesterday was my first day of work.We talked about policies and then a cpr instructor came.
Today we talked about emergency procedure which was a little different since we have a coffee shop,behavioral health office,hcc office and rooms for classes they hold,and us all in one building.I met the teachers that I will beworking with. We set up some of the classroom, bulletin boards, and I did met one little person that may be in my class. I can't wait till its full of little people.(I know ask me that in 3 months.)

Karsen was with my mom this week and will be next. He has meet his teacher and will probably visit her once more before the center is open. because he hasn't met all the teachers in there.I will give you a update when he starts.

One crazy day with a toddler

Today Rob came home from work and Said"I think karsen pooped." I check his diaper. No poop just wet. I take off his diaper and run upstairs to get a clean one. Devin yells "Mom karsen's pooping!" "what?" i say "He doesn't have a diaper on." I run down the stairs and see that karsen has pooped on the kitchen floor.Lol. The poor baby has just pooped on the floor . I'm sure there will be more accidents as we get closer to potty training but that's not the end of the all to crazy day.
As Devin is trying to help with this blog layout, We look to see what he is doing.He climbed up on the couch and is sitting on it like a big boy. Laughing and smiling, he puts his arms out for me to take him.How did u manage to climb up there?
As we are finishing dinner, Karsen decided he is done eating. I hear a big thump. I turn to see that he has manage to climb out of his high chair ,which by the way has a bar between his legs and the tray on,he is sitting on the floor!"Oh my gosh." Someone please tell me that Independence is a great thing. Because my son sure thinks so!

Returning to work

Next week, I start at HCC 's Hand n- Hand daycare! I'm so very excited to return to work after staying home w/ karsen for a year. The first couple week's is training. but I'm so very excited to meet my little students and decorate my classroom! I will be teaching toddlers which means in a few months I'll have Karsen in my classroom.I'm not sure how I feel about that .I love my hours in early means off early.I will be able to help hunter with his homework ,TRY to help devin with hers, do dinner, and still have time for this blog! LOL.
The sad part is my little baby will not be at home with his mommy any more!!I know all the postitive things that Karsen will get out of daycare .
Social skills,friendships,etc....But that means I have to leave him alone!!I'm not sure I am ready for that. This is my last baby,who by the way is walking!!
I'm very thankful that my husband was able to provide for our family while I watched my baby reach milestones!I couldn't have stayed home as long as I did if it wasn't of him! I love ya.
