The First Week

So Glen is now officially 1 week old (don’t worry, I won’t bore you all with up-to-the-nanosecond updates…this ought to suffice until the next truly monumentous event). He is just learning how much fun it is to eat and eat and eat and eat and EAT all the time. Today he gave Johanna a whole 3 hours between feedings at one point. But perhaps she is the one who should tell you all about that.

You see, earlier this week, everyone was asking me “How’s the baby doing? You getting any sleep?” and I felt obliged to make some comment about how his feeding schedule meshed with my need for rest. But Johanna doesn’t like me saying anything, because the truth of the matter is that so far, he hasn’t caused me to lose much.

The False Alarm

Date: Tuesday, December 16th, 2008.
Time: approx. 5:30 PM.
Place: Somewhere around 3300 S. on I-15.

Normally I try to remember to call Johanna when I am leaving work, so she knows how long to cook dinner and when to expect me home. This day was no different…or so I thought.

James and Aiden

Aiden has a hard time focusing on homework. I think he might have ADD because he can’t focus for long at all.  He is having a hard time with math, and reading.  He is getting better at reading. There is a website that helps kids learn to read through games and interaction. It is called starfall.com I recomend it. On the site there is a snowman game that Aiden plays all the time. At the beginning someone says, ow sometimes sounds like O.  Aiden has played it so much that that saying in stuck in my head.  Today I was working on sight words with Aiden, James was there, one of the words was bowl and Aiden didn’t know it.  I tell him to sound it out, he wasn’t doing a good job at it and so I gave him a hint. Remember that game, sometimes ow sounds like what. James blurts out really quickley O.  Aiden was still trying to figure it out. James is a smart cookie. I hope he has a better time with school then Aiden is having!

Housework

I am learning to appreciate the good old days when I could do housework. It is so hard now with the big belly and Glen living on my bladder. I will never complain again about cleaning the house when I am healthy! 31 days to go!

Christmas List (Mike version)

Johanna and I have been telling each other that we need to find time to go Christmas shopping, but before we do that we need to put together Christmas lists of what we want. Normally I am not the type of person to put together a list, it makes me feel needy. But this time around, I thought we could turn this into something a little more fun. So I am posting my list online for all my friends and family to see.
