who do i look like

I see so much of Grandma Holdren in this picture.

He has become such a big boy. I can't believe how fast time goes by. We got Jerry signed up to attend Pre-school in the fall of 2011. He will attend Honey Tree Academy. The website is www.honeytreeacademy.com so you can check out where he will be going. We took a tour of it on Thursday. I am so excited for him.

Last night was the first time in 17 months that Jerry slept the entire night. From 8pm to 5:30 am and then I was able to get him to lay back down with me at 6 until 7:45. I hope this continues. I stopped nursing him last Tuesday and I think this has contributed to his sleeping longer nights. He still takes 2 naps a day and they usually last and hour or more. I would like to get him down to one nap a day if he sleeps better through the night. Right now if he misses a nap he is a BEAR the whole day. It's just hard to go do anything - everything has to be planned around his naps.

I finally joined the Y. I had to get over being a germaphobic and just put Jerry in the daycare. I think it will actually be good for him since he doesn't have anyone to play with, besides me. He needs the interaction with other kids. Hopefully it will help his social skills and maybe even start talking more. He talks constant at home but won't talk to other people.

I've started to do more of my crafts again. This has been put off for a long time. I've been blog surfing and have found several projects I want to start or learn how to do. I really want to take up sewing. I'm looking for a cheap sewing machine to start off with. Just to see if I will be any good at it. Susan, I so wish you were here with me so we could do a lot of these sewing projects together. Maybe, someday:)

Jacob and I are taking our first weekend vacation without Jerry. Grandma and Grandpa Kalma are going to come up on Friday and stay with Jerry until Sunday when we come back. We are going to go to KC for the weekend. We are very excited. BUT...I have to admit, I am already kinda missing Jerry. It's crazy I know, how can I miss him if he is right here, but it's the thought of missing out on a day with him and doing all of the little things with him. I love our routine and how I know what he wants/needs for everything. He is just one amazing little boy.

He is getting his top molars in now. The poor boy has had a rough time getting them. Last week he ran a fever off and on and his nose has been running constant. Yucky:( I can't wait for him to just have all of them in and be done with it. Of course, then it will probably be time for him to start losing teeth.
