I am a full-time student, mommy, and wife so that is alot on me. I have been doing lots of homework and studying this semester. I actually dropped one of my classes because I took way too many hours. I am truly enjoying my CNA class and sign language class the most. I have completed the first 8 weeks of sign language and since I am taking a hybrid course, we pack into two 8 week sessions what you would normally do in 2 seperate semesters. It is fast paced and hard work but I love it! We went to a workshop about using clasifiers in the medical setting and I had a blast (right up my alley there). I start clinicals next week in my CNA class and hopefully I will find out soon if I get to take the test for placement in the LPN program. If I do not get in, I plan to apply for the CNA II class in the Fall and continue with my prerequisites for the RN program.
Laney is truly a 2 year old toddler now. She is sassy and can throw some temper tantrums. She is wild and free and lots of fun. She is really into messing in everything and we really have to watch her close. Since we have finally had some days of nice weather recently, we have been able to take her outside to play and she absolutely loves it. She loves to just walk around the yard and explore. The pure joy of discovery on her face is amazing. She is still pretty delayed in her speech and is becoming a little stubborn about using her signs so we have to really work with her in the speech department. She is getting quite good at removing her diaper and pants now. This is NOT cool!!! She was recently in a fashion show with The Arc of Gaston County. It was awesome. We always have so much fun doing that. They have lots of vendor booths and information for any person with special needs. It is awesome to go and interact with the other parents. Laney is also scheduled to have her eye surgery on April 5th. We were scheduled before but had to postpone once Laney was diagnosed with RSV. We have to wait 6 weeks after that before she could have anesthesia. So hopefully when we go next week for her pre-op she is still going to be able to go ahead with the surgery. I would have to have to reschedule again for any reason.
Logan is still Logan. He is becoming quite the little smarty pants and gets in trouble alot for talking back. Guess he is a typical year old huh. He is doing amazing in school and is almost on a 3rd grade reading level and he is only in 1st grade. We are so proud. He is amazing with Laney. He loves to take her outside and explore with her and race her on his bicycle (I am usually pushing her in her car). He is still doing really well in Scouts and has now completed everything to earn his Tiger Cub badge. Hopefully he gets it at the next pack meeting.
Here are a few pictures just to update you from the fashion show...
