Aloha Friday #1

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

Today’s question is:

In what part of the country do you live and why do you like it so much?

I heart faces week 2

Here is my I heart faces post for this week. Anything goes for this one. Here is a cute picture of Nicholas in his swing just before he got so sick with RSV.

Back at work

Well, I have been back to work for 2 weeks now and I have to say it is not that bad. I am surprised by that because when Sonia was born I did not go back to work until she was about 5 months old. It is very different from Sonia because I had to leave Sonia with strangers at a day care center in CT while I traveled to MA for my job. I worked 10-6 so Rich had to pick Sonia up. This time, my mom is taking care of Nicholas and I feel so much more at ease. I am not woried all the time and I can go to her house to see him on my break.
The parents have all welcomed me back and are happy that I am back. The kids have acted like I never left and to be honest I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
I sleep pretty good. Nicholas gets up once in the middle of the night and then just about the time I need to get up to take a shower so that works out well.

Early Intervention

Nicholas will be seen with EI for 6 months and then they will determine if he needs an IFSP. The advocate told me that I could choose two options: 1. have him seen for 6 months and then at the end determine if he needs more or 2. wait a few more months and call if I still have questions. I chose number 1 because I believe that every child could use extra help with everything. I guess that is the Early Childhood Teacher in me. So the therapist will call me this week with a time to come and visit with Nicholas! I will keep you posted.

I am posting an I heart faces picture. It is a cool photography contest. Here is my picture.

Sonia's Official First Hair Cut

Today Sonia had her hair cut for the first time. She was a little scared at first and cried but then she was brave. I took her to a Snip-It's. Not sure if any of you have one around you but it is a hair salon designed for children only. When they arrive they get a little "credit card" and when they are finished they put it in a machine and they get a small prize. Really cute. Here is a before and after Picture of Sonia.
