It's a fine Sunday morning here in Florida. I hope all of you are having a nice day so far. You might be wondering why I'm posting on a Sunday morning and not at Church. Well, Michael is sick. He has hand, foot, and mouh disease. Actually a virus related to H,F, andM. It sounds worse than it is. He has ulcers in his mouth and on his tongue and they are really painful, but nothing on his hands or feet. We are trying to make him as comfortable as possible and pray Sarah doesn't catch it. He loves his ped2iatrician prescribed medicine, lots of ice pops! It is the only things that give him some kind of relief. You can't cure a virus with antibiotics, it just has to run it's course. It breaks out within a community and my sister Julie, brought the kids to the movies last week so we figure that's where he got it. Ever since he weaned in April he has been seriously sick twice. And he was rarely sick while breastfeeding. Just goes to so show the awesome power of breastmilk.
There's a lot going on in our family lately. In two weeks we are going to beautiful Destin, FL for a vacation with Daniel family. We are all really excited, this is going to be a very relaxing and fun vacation. I'm already half packed! LOL. Michael has been having speech therepy lesson and his speech is really improving. In August he starts back to pre-school at a new and fantastic christian school that took a year and a half to get him in. And the best part is it is right down the road and the day is from 9-2:00 in the afternoon. It's only twice a week though.
Sarah should make it in next year. It's funny M&S are 2 years apart in age, but because of when their birthdays fall they are only a year apart in school. Sarah is doing very well, she is super attached to me, even with my mom she can only stay away from me for about 3 hours without crying for "Mommy! and Boppy! (boobie). Oh how pleasent! She just brought me the potty with a big poop in it! She is potty training herself, which is good and bad. Good beacuse I don't have to change poopy diapers and bad because she isn't really physically ready so there's a lot of chasing her around to put her diaper back on after she just did peepee on the floor. She is also talking up a storm with a hugh vacabulary and good diction. And she's only 22 months old! My children don't stay baby's for very long :-(
Daniel had the summer off from school so we have really enjoyed having him to ourselves every evening and on weekends. We've been doing a lot of family activities and having a nice time. But in August he's taking another graduate class so we won't see him as much.
I'm going to be starting school in August too. I'm going for medical transcription through a study at homecourse that is completely reputable and accreditied. Hopefully, when I am done I will be able to get a job working from home and make some good money to add to our family income and move to a bigger house. By then maybe I will have talked Daniel into wanting another baby. I really want at least one more, he doesn't. We'll have to see if I can wear him down. The way I see it is if we don't have another baby I'll always regret it and if we do he won't regret because he'll love it and not be able to picture life without it. I think its a good arguement. I had started leadership training with La Leache League (the world-wide leader on breasfeeding and breastfeeding support), but I've changed my mind. I've been active with my local group for years, since Michael was a baby, and it seemed like the next logical step. However since starting the process I've discovered that they are a little too liberal for my standards. They have a 'gentle discipline' philosophy (time-out, no spanking) that all leaders have to live by and since Daniel and I follow Biblical child training (spanking and communication), not worldly child training (time-out, no respect for authority) I've decided not to pursue leadership. Which is a shame since I am such a big advocate of breastfeeding and want to promote it and help other women as much as possible. Oh well, life goes on. Well, I'm always here if any of you need help or information. Feel free to ask!
On that note, please have a good day and may our Heavenly Father bless you.
Love,
Dawn
