Yesterday Parker and I were putting on his shorts. Usually we do this with him leaning his back against me for support while lifting up his feet to get into the legs. But he was facing me and I could tell he was really trying to reach for my arm while balance and get his foot up. After about 30 seconds, he took a few steps away, sat down, then rolled on his back and waved his feet in the air. Very clever! He thought of a different way because what we were trying wasn't working for him. He's also started putting his arms out, palms up and shrugging his shoulders with that look of "I just don't know." on his face. Um, I guess I do that more often than I thought. It's VERY cute on him, but I haven't managed to get a picture of it yet.

Today is supposedly the last weekday I will have home with him. Bittersweet. I'm really looking forward to working again, but I'm going to miss being with him so much, I keep tearing up. I think I found a good person to watch him who will see and treat him like the special little man he is.

The Latest and Greatest

I found a job! It's working for a call center which I've never done, but I'm going to be a team leader and won't have to answer as many calls. I'm hoping to work an early shift and weekends in order to limit the time Parker has to spend in day care. I'm glad to have found work even if it's a temp job. And I'm really looking forward to working and getting paid for it. Although one-fourth of what I make will be going to daycare. Ouch!

We are getting settled in here. I'm not unpacking some things because we may be moving again in March. The apartment is big, but rather rundown and we don't have the best of neighbors. Just have to wait and see what happens. This picture is in the pool here. Parker loves water! I'm glad to have a pool for us to play in.
