Welcome to 2010! Crazy, eh?! 2010.
Once again, I've been slacking with the blogging. I'm so intrigued by others' blogs that I spend all of my time reading about other peoples' lives and then I'm not left with enough time to write about my own. It needs to stop. I really, really want to blog, for a lot of different reasons.
But enough about that. How about an update on my sweet family?
Cory is as awesome as ever. I. love. that. kid. He is nothing but goodness in my life and I thank God every night for him. He is only two but he's taught me more about life and myself in the past two years than I've learned the 27 years before that. He is just over 2 1/2 now and talks non-stop. Seriously. Somedays I wonder if his "off" switch is malfunctioning, lol. But in all honesty, it's great. I love hearing him speak toddler-ease, pronouncing words in only a way a toddler could. Most of the time he is very articulate and even strangers are able to understand him. We recently stopped EI services because he was doing so well and we didn't have any further concerns about his development.
He still loves all things digger/dozer/skidsteer/dump truck related and is quickly acquiring a rather large collection of Cars characters. He can sing his ABCs (but will only sing along with us) and identify probably 1/2, maybe 2/3 of the alphabet. He can count to 10 and probably even higher than that but I haven't asked him to.
A few weeks ago we sent in the registration for preschool in the fall. I'm really torn about sending my "baby" to "school", but I'll give it a shot. :) It's only for two mornings a week and if for some reason he doesn't like it, we'll just pull him out. I really think he'll love it. Our next step is potty training though because they have to be fully trained before preschool. Ugh. He's been doing ok. Not great. But ok. At least we've still got a good seven months left before preschool starts. Wish us luck!
Sean is still working as hard as ever to take care of our family. He's such an amazing husband and father. We cherish our evenings and weekends together as a family. I cannot imagine who I would be today if I didn't have Sean. He's my best friend, my partner for life, the other half of my soul. This weekend is Valentine's Day. He is my one and only Valentine. :)
I am still home with Cory every day and even though it's the toughest thing I've ever done, I wouldn't change it for the world. Being a stay-at-home mom has been the biggest adjustment for me since Cory was born. Some days I just feel completely incompetent and worthless. I feel like I'm not contributing anything to our life or to society. But then those days pass and I realize that I've been given a wonderful gift and life goes on. It's so far from the way I imagined my life would be, but it's so much more perfect than I imagined too.
