Busy, busy, busy

Clearly this is how busy my life as become because I haven't posted in months. I need to start making sure that I am filling you in on things! Life has been so crazy since I have been back to work. I have 34 kids in my class at the moment, a few of which are complete CrAzIeS!!! It takes all my power not to strangle them somedays. On top of work I have been working on my masters which is  a lot of tedious busy work. Oh yea and I'm a single mom 75% of the week! So much fun and excitement happening in this life!

We just went to the doctor for Layton's 18 month check-up. He is right on track and doing great. 26lbs 12oz, 32.25 inches and still has big brains! No wonder he is so smart! The kids talks up a storm! "What is this? What is this? Mommy.... " I love that we can have conversations now though. Plus he can tell me what he needs, which is a HUGE help in this busy life we lead! Everyday he picks up tons of new words, he completely amazes me! He gets to move up to the next classroom at school this coming week! We have been talking about it and I really think it will be good for him. Although he loves his Ms. Mel!

Layton just got off of a TON of medicine, that was a fun Christmas break! I had to make a spreadsheet to keep up with all of it. Thankfully he is now much better. Just dealing with a diaper rash that happened because of all the medicines. I am keeping him on his breathing treatments once a day, saline for his nose and singular for his allergies just to be safe during the winter months. I am raising a little Zachary during the winter!

All we do in my house is play cars, choo choos and Jake! Thankfully Santa brought Layton a train table for Christmas, so that consumes a lot if his time! I have really started making an effort to turn off the TV. The child is just like his dad and once he starts watching it he can't take his eyes off!

I have said many times over that I have raised a strong willed, independent child. Today he threw his breakfast on the floor, looked at me and said.. "Vacuum Mommy!" I just hope that he has these traits when he is older, if I don't strangle him before then. =)

We just got his 18 month pictures taken I can't wait to get them back! We had such a fun time at Red Rock taking them. I can't wait until summer when we can go run around even more! We also just went to the Shark Reef. This time was much different from the last time. Layton loved the sharks and kept wanting to get in the stingray water! I got a year long pass so that we can go as many times as we want this year! So much fun!

Oh well I'm off to tackle the day. A list of things to do as usual... =)
