Summer 2010

With summer almost gone, I figured it's past time to post a new entry. This summer has been crazy! Brooks stayed in day care for 2 days a week. He loves it there and, there are times that when he doesn't go, he asks for his teachers (Cheryl and Jo Jo). Plus, that gave me time to clean (a little) and get ready for my new classroom (a lot)!
This summer we did so many things with our friends Amanda and Aubry  and  Candi and Maddux. Some of them include the San Antonio Zoo, Morgan's Wonderland, Inflatable World, the park, swimming, and The Children's Museum. (Some pictures are attached.) It has been interesting watching the kids play together this summer, especially since Brooks has quadruple the amount of energy and orneriness compared to that of Maddux and Aubry. He's a runner, not a walker. He's a thrower, not a roller. He's a yeller, not a talker. He's a linebacker, not a side liner. He's, no question, 150% boy! 
Sometime around July 4, Brooks decided he wanted to sit on the potty a few times. Don't worry, that didn't last! I went and bought all the potty stuff and then he decided he was done with that. Oh well, it'll happen sooner or later.
We also went to a wedding shower for Syd and got to stay in her brand new house. Brooks loved it there because he has the whole downstairs to run around in (with wooden floors) with Zena chasing him (on the wooden floors)! The wooden floors were his favorite noise maker for the long weekend we stayed. Syd and Blake might wait a little while longer than they originally planned for their first after our weekend there!
We have thoroughly enjoyed Brandon getting home earlier from work, too! (Especially on the days that Brooks does not go to day care!) Instead of 6:30 or 7:00, it's 5:30 or 6:00. That has been a nice change for all of us! He's having a hard time adjusting to the laid back and slower atmosphere of the new job. He just doesn't know what to do with himself! So far, he likes it a lot and is getting to know the company even better than before.
I have been going up to my classroom on Brooks's day care days for about 2 weeks. I've gotten a lot done, although if you walked in, you'd never know it! Taking over someones room that has been there or 15 years means there's a lot of stuff older than me that needs to be thrown away. I detest going through other people's trash, so now that I'm finally into my stuff it's easier to get through. Meme made me some adorable shelf curtains that I can't wait to get up! My theme is changing to owls and it is stinkin' cute!
Well, I think that's about all for now. I got a new (fancy) camera, so hopefully I'll be able to post pictures more often.
Until next time,
