Two weeks have gone by and I haven't written anything. I've been VERY busy, but it's no excuse, I know. Oh well, I think only Kathrine and my mom read it, so hopefully you two won't hold it against me! :)
Here's a list of all the things Jack's done/learned since I last posted:
1. cut TWO teeth on the bottom (I wasn't expecting that so early)
2. sitting up independently
3. laughing out loud when we tickle his tummy or neck (We've tried getting this on video, but were unsuccessful. We'll keep trying)
4. put his hands all over his baby food after it's already in his mouth. It's really gross. Take my word for it.
5. picked out his first toy (a gigantic stuffed dog at Sam's that makes him very happy)
So, school started on Monday. I'm teaching second grade now, and I love it! My class is so sweet, and they can already do so much. I never realized how much of kindergarten is teaching them how to walk in a line and how to sit still and be quiet. Second graders are just like kindergarteners, except with brains!
One boy in my class is particularly funny. Yesterday they were writing a list of memories from when they were young and he came and asked me if he could write about a bad memory. We talked about it a little, and I told him sure. He said, "I have a metal foot. Shark bite." !!! It was so funny! I have several more stories from him already. :)
Matt's doing a great job taking care of Jack. And really, this situation is working out pretty well. As much as we wanted it to work out differently, I've realized lately that this is really a blessing. I'm so glad that I'm not having to take Jack to daycare or to someone I don't know. I'm not worrying about him all day...missing him, yes, but I have a shrine to him in my classroom. Anyway, I think this is going to be okay, even though it's not ideal. I guess it's just one of those weird times when God does something that looks totally different than what I thought He would do. Sometimes it's just hard to trust Him--but He alwaysknows what He's doing.
