Loving 2 Days a Week!!

Yeah, I think I could get used to working 2 days a week!! LOL! Too bad it's not going to last for long ... Actually I was thinking today that 3 days a week would be perfect! We'll see how 4 days goes. Blake and I are hanging out at home today. I took him to the doctor on Tuesday because I thought his cold was getting pretty bad. I just wanted to make sure he didn't have bronchitis or croup or something because his cough at night was very "barky". Well it turns out he has an ear infection. Poor little guy :( So he is on antibiotics for 10 days. He's sleeping better now and doesn't have the terrible cough, but is still soooo... stuffed up!! Hopefully it clears up soon! Wednesday was another good day. He was an angel at the day home and I had a great day at work. I found out the O.T. I work most closely with is leaving us at the end of June. I was sad to hear that, because she is fantastic! Her family is moving to Australia for 2 years!! It sounds like an awesome idea but I'm not sure if I'd have the nerve to do it! Her girls are 16 and 14. When she told me, I thought to myself, wow that's something I'd like to do! But realistically I'm not sure if I could leave my family for that long!!! So anyways, beginning in July I'll be working with a new O.T. I really hope they find someone as experienced and "good" as this one! We haven't been out on our bikes yet, but as soon as Blake is feeling better we'll take them for a spin! I'm really excited about his new bike trailer/jogging stroller combo! It's supposed to be cold this weekend unfortunately. We don't have too many plans. We were supposed to go to a 2 yr birthday party but the little guy has the flu so it's postponed. I think we're going to do some shopping. Blake's growing out of his clothes and we really need a 2nd car seat for Cal's truck!! Have a great weekend everyone :)

Wow!!

I really can't believe how good of a day we had!!! Blake had an unusual evening/night last night. He has a cold and is really stuffed up so is having trouble breathing! He went to bed later than usual last night. I thought that due to that he'd be up earlier and cranky today. But instead I had to wake him up. I got up at 5:55 and got ready for work and then I woke him up at 6:15 and got him ready and we were out the door at 7!! Cal had his boot camp class this morning so he was gone before we got up and I thought it might be really rushed trying to get out the door by myself, but it wasn't at all! (Note to Cal: that doesn't get you off the hook for future mornings! LOL!) I dropped Blake and the playpen off at around 7:10. I took him to the door and he went to Karen and waved at me as I left with a cute lil' crooked grin on his face! It was adorable! So I headed to Fort Saskatchewan with some tears in my eyes and arrived at work at 7:25! I start at 8 and I didn't know if anyone would be there yet, so I drove around Fort Sask a little bit and went back to work at 7:50! Turns out a few people start at 7:30 so I could have went in. I called Karen at around 8:30 to give her my new work number and she said Blake was doing great and she was going to get ready to put him down for a nap. I called her again at noon and she said he was busy eating lunch and he had a 2 hour nap! I typed her out a rather detailed report on Blake's every move, habit and behaviour and she said that just like I said he started showing signs of being tired and she rocked him a little bit, put him down and he was asleep in 5 minutes! I honestly could not believe it. I thought for sure he'd fuss a little bit because of being in a strange place, not in his crib, being overtired, having a cold, etc - but nope! And then he had a nap in the afternoon for 2 hours and 20 min. I really was surprised but very glad! After I found out he had a good morning nap I was very relieved and not worried at all. I picked him up around 4:30 and he was playing away! He still has a cold, but hopefully that will go away soon. It's so hard on little ones because they can't blow their nose!! And my first day at work was excellent! I'm very excited about my job and so glad to not be returning to my old one :) This will be a lot more challenging and interesting! I was quite impressed with my desk! LOL! The O.T. I work with said I'll have to bring in lots of pictures and I said don't worry, now that I see how much space there is I will be covering it with frames!! I'm a bit of a picture freak! Not a nice word to use but I can't think of another one at this time! So, that was our day! Really, really good and I hope they continue to be just as good! Tomorrow Blake and I are going to hang around home and we may go for a bike ride when Cal gets home from work! Take care everyone!

Love Cal, Tracy & Blake

1st!

So tomorrow will be Blake's 1st day, spending all day, at the day home! It will also be my 1st day at my new job! Yikes!! I'm kinda ready!? I'm very glad I'm going back 2 days a week to begin with. Will make the transition much easier!! I keep thinking it will make it easier for Blake, but realistically I think easier for me!!!!! Blake will be fine! I work 8 - 4:15, but they are flexible with their hours so if I want I can start a bit later and stay later. I don't think I'll do that though. I think I'd rather be home earlier! We'll see. We had a great weekend. Cal had the rest of the week off and on Friday morning he started a boot camp class! The class is Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. On Friday night I went to a Norwex party. I am quite excited about the products!! Can't wait to get them and start cleaning! LOL! Then on Saturday was my friend Lindsey's shower and stagette. We had an awesome time!! It was great to get together with the girls!!! Cal and Blake had a boys day and had a fun! They went for a walk and played outside for awhile. The weather has been fantastic this weekend! Cal's sister Kathy came over today. We went for a nice walk and had a great visit! I'm hoping this beautiful weather is here to stay!! Anyways, I better get going! I'll let you know how the 1st day goes tomorrow!
