I am currently watching the Olympics and typing on my laptop. I just put Andi to bed and picked up a little, probably not as much as I should have though. Bryan is trying to fix my Elliptical Machine. It squeaks and clunks and drives me crazy when I try to use it. Bryan just finished his last class and is waiting to hear back from Excelsior College about his clinicals. Work is going ok. My hours have changed a little and I’m not too thrilled about that. Neither is Bryan since it effects his sleep schedule. I’m hoping when Bryan gets his RN lisence that he will work full time and I can cut back to 32 hours a week. I’ve been getting a little stir crazy with the winters. There isn’t too much Andi can do at her age so we spend a lot of time at home playing toys. I’m anxious for spring so we can get outside more. Last weekend Amy, my mom, and I took the kids to Funset to ride the train and play the games and have pizza. Saturday Bryan and I took Andi to Disney on Ice. I would highly recommend it. Even if you don’t have kids it would still be a good show. Andi is doing well. Learning so much. She learns new words so well. She will ask me what something is and I’ll tell her and then she’ll repeat it. It doesn’t always sound quite right, but close. She seems to always remember the words after she learns them the first time. A lot of times she’ll be saying words to me which I’m sure is something one of us taught her, but since she can’t say the word exactly right I don’t know what she’s talking about. I was talking to a co-worker of mine who told me she just got so used to the way her daughter talked that they never realized she couldn’t say her “r”s until she started kindergarden. I thought that was interesting. Andi says keekee for blanket, melmo for elmo, nose for snow and nose for nose, four for floor, but we know what she’s saying. She is a very clumsy little girl. She falls down quite a bit and gets lots of bumps and bruises. She doesn’t eat well either. I’ve decided for her bedtime snack she will be getting her left over dinner from now on. She eats about 2 bites at dinner and then and hour later is asking for a snack because she want something better than meats and veggies. She’s too smart for her own good. I’m also having a hard time getting her to listen and mind. I’m sure that is just with her age though. We don’t have any very exciting plans coming up other than spring!
