Happy Monday!

Or in my case, Happy Friday. One of the main disadvantages of working only Mondays and Fridays is that I never really know for sure if the week is starting or ending. I realize that I cannot complain because working two days is way better than working five days where one may be excruciatingly aware of the turning of the calendar days down to the minute in some cases. As for me, I am really excited about this particular Friday because my folks are flying into town. Not only am I really looking forward to seeing them, but I can't wait for them to see the Mizz and all the growing up he has done in the last six months. It really continues to astound me how fast kids change. One of the many cool feature of working at a daycare is getting constant reminders of not only where Mizz has been but also, what the future holds. Frankly, from my current viewpoint, the kindergartners look and act like adults! But then I check out the infants and am reminded that there was a time not that long ago where Mizz would spit out food and refuse to feed himself...oh that was this evening...never mind. Actually, Mizz ate his first real meal in what seems like weeks. He actually ate pizza and applesauce and asked for more of both of them. This seems to be a major improvement from the recent days of a handful of crackers and some berries. Perhaps he thought he was a squirrel... In any case, his appetite appears to be back for the moment at least.

Dave and I both agreed to put a kibosh on most of our "have to/want to" list this weekend, and enjoyed playing outside, in the pool, and around the house. We also rented three movies and managed to watch two of them from start to finish. We both thoroughly enjoyed two radically different films: Casino Royale and Little Children. In fact the only thing in common with them is that, we weren't sure either of them were going to end.
