Birthday Time!

Yesterday was my nieces 3rd birthday! It was the first birthday where she actually understood what was going on and enjoyed everyone singing to her rather then getting scared and crying.
Watching her open her presents was so cute! She would read every card herself...Example: If there was a rabbit on the card she would read "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, 3 years old!" The next card had Dora on it so she read, "Dora, Dora, Dora, 3 years old!" It melted my heart. She would follow the card by yelling out every present she got, even "BATTERIES!"
After the gift opening she performed about 20 songs on her new pink microphone. She would sing and dance and then the crowd would roar and she loved it!!
The time has gone so fast. I still remember watching my sister give birth to her and the joy I felt. I can't believe soon my son will be that big and will be reading his cards out....I know I will cry.
As you get older you realize how fast life is passing by. A day goes so quick and there are only 365 in a year.... which means soon I will be old and my child will be grown with a family of his own.....slow down life!!

Mothers Day!

My second Mothers Day just passed. I got a card signed by my son and a nice hug and kiss. We spent the day enjoying each others company and playing, just what we love to do.
I can't help but smile as I watch him play. He isn't my baby anymore but my little boy. He is growing so tall and strong and he is extremely smart. He tells me when his bum is dirty and his juice cup needs refilled. I love how he communicates with me. Whether it is pointing or simply holding up his empty cup and saying "Mama juice!" he is now talking to me and telling me his needs and wants. The moment I have been waiting for. No more guessing (even though I can now read him like a book). It is straight forward and wonderful. I love him more and more everyday and I am thankful to God for my son and best friend!

So much has happened!

It has been a while since I have wrote on my blog and a lot has happened since then.
Daycare is a no more! I went to pick my son up on the Friday of the first week and when I walked in I saw him alone at the top of a winding stair case (with no gate) and the baby sitter was in the basement! Needless to say he didn't go back.
I got into school for Nursing so I have decided to stay home with my little man until then. I will make more money being home then I did working and paying for daycare! And I will get to enjoy everyday with him until I start college.
He will be almost 2 when I start school and he goes to a new daycare, I think him and myself will be OK with it by then. I feel awful for leaving him at the home daycare he was at because he obviously was not supervised and could have fallen to a horrible injury. In which case I would have went to jail for what I would have done to the lady.
Daycare is a scary thing, especially home daycare where they are behind closed doors and no one to witness what is going on. You can only hope your child is safe.
So now I am looking forward to spending the days with my son again and soon starting school to work towards a wonderful career that will spoil us both!
