Really, are these titles necessary?

So yeah, I couldn't think of a cool title for this post.

Anyhow, just thought I'd post a quick update. Hubby is loving his new job, which is great. He works with a bunch of people who are every inch as geeky as he has always longed to be. Lol, he's usually pretty excited every day when he comes home from work, which is great.

Monkey is settling into a routine. We wake up in the mornings, each, change the diaper, play until 11, eat, play, nap, eat, play, daddy comes home, eat, play then sleep. It's just so nice that he is going down for his naps at a relatively regular time and he does it with hardly any fuss. A couple of times he has come up to me and head butts me until I ask him what he wants and he says he's tired (he does this by putting his fingers on his forehead like he has a headache, he's even started to sign 'sleep').
Unfortunately, the last couple days his ambition has gotten the better of him and he's pulled things down on him a few times. He hasn't really hurt himself yet, but man, it makes him upset.
Also, we put new batteried into his talking Elmo today (6 AA, ouch!) and Elmo came back to life as if he was on a caffeine high. It was really pretty funny. I should get rechargeable batteries for these kinds of toys....

As for me, there's not a whole lot going on. I'm trying to get back in to Hockey, the season starts up in September I think, and so I want to start going to public skates to get my feet under me, then to the stick-n-puck and powerskate sessions that the Ice Sheet has. I was acctually really excited when I found out that they have those, the Bountiful Rec center never had anything like that. I really wish I'd have know about the hockey based sessions earlier, I like to think I would have started going months ago. Ah well, I know now and so I'll start now. I just have to find a babysitter.... ;)
Lastly, my powercord on my laptop finally gave up the ghost. So, now all my computers are non functional one way or another, so I have only Hubby's computer to work on. This wouldn't be aproblem if it wasn't in the basement, or if I had the basement rganized to the point where I could bring Monkey down here, but as it is there is still a hole in the wall (I forgot I was going to fix that this week) and a general big mess everywhere. With us hoping to start moving things into storage come January, is there even any motive to organize it? ;p only the fact that I'm sick of tripping over it all.

Anyhow, till next time!

Monkey See, Monkey Do

I am so proud of my little Monkey! Aside from the fact that he is just sooooo much fun, it's so cool to watch him develop mentally.
This morning after his shower we were putting on some lotion and he helped me rub it in. Then, when it was time to get dressed (he was running around) I help up his shorts and told him we had to put some clothes on. He came over to me and tried to step in to his shorts as I held them up for him. Lol, of course, he didn't quite make it, he hasn't figured out that he needs to hold on to something to keep his balance, so he sat down on my lap and put his foot through. Then he carefully put his other foot through and stood up so that I could pull them up. All without me telling him too. Then, after running around for a couple minutes first, it was time to put on his shirt. I put it over his head and, again without any guidance from me, he tried to put his arms through the sleeves. I had to help him, but he knew what he needed to do. It was so cool!

On other topics, I'm stoked about camping this year. It will be so odd to go a month later than normal. This will be only the 2nd time in my life that I will be home on the 24th of July. Another thing that I am excited about though, is that my grandmother will be coming up with us. Woohoo!! We do have a dilemma, though, in that as my sister is not going we do not have a truck capable of pulling a trailer. This means that we have 1 car, one station wagon and one subaru cruck (a car with a truck bed, or maybe a truck that wishes it was a car) to take up 9 people, a week's supply of food, coolers to put it in, tents, bedding, cooking gear, clothes & general camping paraphernalia. Not good. Maybe someone can find a truck to borrow. I really don't think it would be an issue if we had a nice big truck & trailer. Nevertheless, AAAHHHHH I'm excited!!!

As for our personal businesses, they're not all up and running yet. Hubby-man has started some advertising for his and I'm still working on training for Mary Kay, though I do have my first four skin care classes scheduled for next week. I should have my inventory by Tuesday. I've been revving up for the last two weeks, hopefully once I get going I'll have some good momentum & be able to keep it.
