Wow what a difference a week can make! Zander decided on Tuesday that he was ready to enjoy himself at daycare and has made a complete turnaround! In fact this morning he asked me if I could get ready FASTER so he could go! From the first day he has gone there when I drop him off he turns into a rabid spider monkey, wrapping his arms around my neck and his legs around my midsection. He clings on to me as his teacher pry's him off, often taking my shirt with him. Morning drop off was the hardest thing in the world for me. Leaving my baby knowing he was absolutely miserable was just not ok. But this week.... all I can say is WOW!!!! On Tuesday when I dropped him off he only cried a little bit, I was pretty dang happy with that so when Adam reported to me at the end of the day that Zander had had a "Good" day I could not believe it... I had to have details! Zander not only used the bathroom, but he also ate a cupcake! This is huge guys!!! This is the first time he has had a bite away from mom or dad in a year and a half! Adam and I praised and rewarded Zander all evening, telling him how proud and happy we were, and the next morning Zander announced that he was going to have a "Happy day at daycare!" I was skeptical, but at drop off he let me put him down, then he gave me a kiss and said "Bye mom" I was on cloud 9 all day! Adam called me when he picked Zander up and said that he had eaten lunch, been happy all day, and even sat with his class for activities and made me a picture! Thursday and Friday followed suit, it has been a fantastic week!
In other news Adam is finished with his law school mid-terms and back into the swing of normal coursework. Adam and I are doing great, more in love than ever in our lives and best friends to boot. With all the stress of moving around, looking for jobs, and getting into and then starting law school we have been strained but we are back! I am thankfull for him every day, and to say he has stepped up in a way that most men would just run screaming from since I started my job would be an understatement. Adam now picks Zander up from daycare everyday, rushes home to be here for Aidan, makes sure Aidan does homework and chores, cleans the house and even makes dinner for me every night. I am one lucky girl for sure!
My job is going well. The University of Phoenix is a great place to work and while my position is entry level, after 9 months or so the doors will open up for me and I know I will move into a position that I love. The only downside is that my body has picked a terrible time to break down. I have had a lump in my breast for 3 weeks now that is quite painful and I cannot get in to see a Dr since I am working Monday - Friday so tonight I went to the ER to have it checked out and was told that I defiantly need to get a biopsy done and find out what we are dealing with. I must admit I am terrified because my grandmother had breast cancer and my mom has had cancer and multiple lumps removed. Any prayers you could send my way on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
All in all life is good. We are happy, and as a family we are B-A-C-K!!!
