It's been a while

So - obviously it's been a while. Too long. Here are our updates.



1. Tyler is almost 2 1/2 now. (will be on Dec 1st). He's so cute and such a pleasure in our house. He is a 2 year old and we have those normal challenges, but cute and fun just the same. He's talking more. Last night we were playing with is play dough - he started saying "oh my goodness" - were weren't sure why, or where he heard that before. We asked him and he said "Kim". Ms. Kim is one of his teachers at day care. He talks about her a lot. He's really starting to like day care and loves is new teacher, Ms. T. He has stopped crying when I drop him off (he's been going for well over a year, and just last month stopped his crying fits). We are trying to start potty training (have been talking to him about it for almost a year). The last couple of nights he has chosen to sit on his little potty while I read him a book. He hasn't done anything on the potty yet, but a month ago - he would kick and scream and cry if I tried to make him sit on it.



2. Tyler is enjoying babies recently. We have lots of friends with new babies. This is good since he will have a new brother OR sister at the end of Feb. Feb 23rd is my due date, although I'm not expecting anything until March 1st. We DON'T know what we are having (yet), but Dave wants to know and is supposed to schedule that appointment. So we'll see.



Big changes for the Hill household in Feb. Besides the fact that we will have a new baby.......Tyler will stop going to day care, and I am going to quit my regular full/part time job (working 30 hours a week now). So I will mostly be a stay at home mom. Probably after about 6 months staying at home I will look to find something more part time, in the evenings or something I can take the kids to. Tyler will start pre-school in the fall, so hopefully that will help him get in to some sort of routine. I'm looking forward (and slightly fear) the new change. I am excited to take the kids to library time, the Y (drop them off so I can exercise), COSI and the zoo. I already do some of that, but it will be fun to not have work looming in the background.



So - hopefully I'll be better at posting more often and pretty soon we'll get a new computer at home and I will post some new pictures of Tyler and the family. We'll be getting Christmas pictures done as well, so I'll work on getting those out to everyone.



Love all,

Kara
