Career Discussions

During my maternity leave, I have had a lot of time to spend with my Ayden and Sutton.  I am so enjoying these days together.  I am beginning to dread that day in February that I must go back to work.  I love my job and the kids I get the opportunity to work with, but I just hate to miss some of the little everyday things that me and the kids have been sharing over the last few months.  The good thing is that it will only be a few weeks after I go back when we have spring break.  Then it won't be much longer until summer break!

One thing for sure, there is never a dull moment around our house!!  Yesterday, Ayden was playing Wii Carnival.  This is one of his favorite games.  This is the conversation that followed.

Ayden:  Mom, I don't want to be a man that flies airplanes when I grow up anymore.
Mom:  Really, why not?
Ayden:  Because I want to be a carnival man!!

Wow!  His aspirations have gone down a notch or two.  Probably a year or more ago, Ayden had told me that when he got big, he would take me for a ride in his trash truck.  I was okay with that, because I decided maybe he would own the truck and the company rather than just driving the truck. 

At Christmas, the trash truck driver gave all the kids at MeeMaw's suckers one day.  How many people can say that they got suckers from the trash man?  How many people would want suckers from the trash man?  LOL!!  Now you have to understand the relationship here.  Every week, on trash day, the kids sit outside on the porch to watch the trash truck.  That is something Ayden just loves!  I guess the driver had just seen them so many times that he decided to do something for them.  Ayden was beaming and could not wait to tell me this story when I picked him up that day.  I love the way such little things can totally delight little ones - such simple pleasures!

Well, a few weeks ago, we were again talking about jobs.  At this time, Ayden decided that he wanted to drive jets when he got big.  I told him that would be awesome!  I would love to ride in his jet. 

Well now he has moved on to the idea of being a carnival man.  Well, I just hope he is happy!

Sutton's 2 Month Checkup

Sutton had his 2 month doctor visit today.  He is growing, growing, growing!!!  He weighed 14 pounds and was 24 inches long.  He is healthy and handsome as ever!  Of course, he also had to get his first set of immunizations.   That was no fun at all.  I always hate having to do that to them, but I know it is something that has to be done.  He only cried for about a minute, and he had already fallen asleep by the time I got him buckled in and ready to leave the office.  I think sometimes those shots are harder on us parents than the kids.
