More fun with recycling

Kian has discovered the joys of our recycling bin. Any box that can be emptied of its contents is fun. But the recycling bin has all sorts of paper that is crying out to be shredded and eaten!

Back to work tomorrow

Well, it's back to work tomorrow morning. I'm not really looking forward to it but I have to go back or else pay back all of my lovely maternity top up money that the university provided.

I suspect that my little K-Bear will be just fine at the nanny's all day. We've done a couple of trial days to see how it would go and he was good. My mornings will be more crammed than ever before. I'll have to be up super early to make sure I'm ready before he gets up and needs attention.

Then I have to hope there is a visitor parking space open at the nanny's condo so that I don't have to spend time looking for an all day street spot after dropping my little darling off. I'll be bussing to work and E will be picking K-Bear up and taking the car home from there.

I imagine my first week of work will be a lot of wading through 10 months of unchecked emails, getting reaquainted with the student records computer system, rearranging to have access to everything i need, reapplying for my work credit card, sending out "I'm back" messages, meeting with boss and coworkers to get caught up on changes, and so on.

23 hours to go.

The Countdown to April 6

I am going to miss my little K Bear so much! I'm not really looking forward to my return to work in a week. It will be nice to get out and have grown up conversations each day, and to sit in a chair more than sitting on the floor, and maybe even to walk around with a light purse rather than a heavy diaper bag over my shoulder. But dang it all, I won't get the same silly smiles, squeals of delight, and slimey hands in my face that I get such a kick out of.

Little Energizer Bunny

Sometimes he just goes and goes and goes!

Playing with bags

This is prior to our move. Kian pulled his bumbo seat out of a plastic bag and was playing with it(the bag not the seat).

Finally, I can get started...

My thesis is moving again at long last! The email request for participants went out on Friday. Now on Sunday afternoon, I already have 12 willing participants. I only really need 20 of them, so 8 more to go and the rest are icing on the thesis cake!

Now I need to start sending out my questionnaires.


*****

On another note... K just got his first tooth. It wasn't too bad, he only got up 3 times that night after being up until midnight.

Santa's little helper...

Our little darling is growing so fast and learning so much! He's sitting on his own for a few seconds at a time. He's hopping away in his jolly jumper (at the moment not very happily). He rolls all over the place. I know that in just a blink of an eye he'll be running around the apartment getting into all the things we haven't thought of putting away.

Sigh, three months until I have to get back to work.
