Update

Well I started school on the 14th, and the blogging has slowed down since then. I made an A on my first test, so that was exciting!!

Anyway, onto more important things... Alyvia! She has been doing a lot of cute things lately. The other night Matt was putting her to bed, and we didn't give her a bath that night(Bad, I know, but she hadn't been outside that day!) she kept saying in her adorable baby voice, "bath, bath, bath, bath", even after he laid her in the crib. So pitiful! She knew she was supposed to get a bath.

I took her to a baby gymnastics class last week. She loved it. She ran on the trampoline and jumped off onto the soft landing area. She had NO FEAR! Kind of like when she is at home. She isn't afraid of anything. Except flies and spiders. The other day she was pushing her baby stroller around the living room and into the kitchen. Well she stopped and started crying and wouldn't move until I moved the piece of lint off the floor that was in her way. I guess she thought it was a spider??? She is so silly!

We took her to Chuck E Cheese a week ago. She had a good time. She played on the slide and enjoyed watching all the kids play. She even gave Chuck E a high five!! So brave! After Chuck E Cheese, we went to Toys R Us and let her run around and play with the toys. She especially loved this pink Barbie Jeep. Her daddy and I got lots of good ideas for Christmas and birthday presents!

I suppose I should get her settled down for a nap. Momma needs to study :)

Her "preschool" starts next Tuesday. Im really excited for her. She is going to love playing with other kids a few hours a week.

A little of this, a little of that

Alyvia is constantly into things these days. On Thursday she swallowed a dime. I am so careful about not leaving small things laying around. Choking is a huge fear of mine, and I take the necessary precautions to avoid it at all costs, but somehow Alyvia got hold of one. We are still waiting on it to make its way through(sorry TMI). I'm starting to get a little anxious. The doctor said she will get an x-ray to make sure it went through if we don't see it soon. Anyway, that was Thursday, then Friday she fell off our bed. She hit her head pretty hard on the floor. She acted fine, so we went about our day. Then today she did something and has a mark on her face right by her eye. We were getting ready for church, so I didn't see what happened. That girl. She is going to give her momma a heart attack.

Alyvia starts "school" in a couple weeks. I am so excited about this. Its actually a mothers day out program at a local church. It will be Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30-2:30. I am going to switch my work schedule around and work Monday and Wednesday nights that way I can sleep while she is at "school". I think it will be really good for her to interact with other kids her age.

We are also looking forward to a visit from Matt's family. They will be her Labor day weekend, and his mom gets to stay for two weeks! It will be so nice having them here. We are going to do family pictures that weekend too.

I start school in two weeks. My last year! In May I will be an RN! It will be wonderful to be done. Nursing is such a great field to be in. Helping people+good money+great hours=a win for everyone involved. I am already an Lpn for those that don't know, but being an RN is a great achievement. It hasn't been an easy road, but in the end it will be worth it!

I guess thats enough babbling. Have a great week everyone!
