I’m just going to stop apologizing for taking so long between posts. Things pop up, i travel, we are enjoying the last parts of summer, so computers haven’t been the highest on our list(s). The last month has been extremely enjoyable. We’ve had a lot of time to get outside, do work around the yard, play a lot of golf, work on paytons tan(at the pool), as well as a whole lot of other things.
Jess and I have been getting settled back into working F/T and having Payton back at day care 2-3 times a week. It’s been a great experience for her, as she has an in home daycare ,and there are only a couple of kids there with her. We like that she’s already learning a lot of great social skills by having the interaction. She’s doing pretty well with most of her vocab. She counts to twenty in english, and 10 in spanish. She also spends way too much time walking up and down our stairs without the help of railing or anything. She’s getting too damn old too quickly. We’re very proud of how far she’s progressed though.
Work has been good and bad for both Jess and I. She is still struggling with the many expectations placed on teachers, while getting her 4th pay cut in 4 years. Pretty amazing how that structure works, but whatever. We’ll see how long she’ll last if this continues down this road. I was fortunate enough to travel to Savannah, Georgia last week for work, and loved it. What a great little town. everyone was nice, the trees are amazing. Everything about the place seemed to be a great time. Wish i would have had time to golf, but that will have to be next time.
Recently, Payton was explaining to us that she has new signing skills, so we put them to test on twinkle twinkle little star…..you’ll have to be the judge…..let’s not send her to american idol just yet……………………..
Hope everyone is doing well. We’re looking at adding to the family sometime in the near future, so we’re going to have two of these little whacko’s running around. BTW, no, Payton has not stopped growing. She continues to grow off the charts…….there is always the next 6 months right?????????
