So, another month is behind us and June is now in full swing. I haven't updated my blog in a couple of weeks, so I thought a little catching up was in order. I wish I had something interesting or exciting to report, but alas, I do not. Noah is, well, Noah. He's a toddler, he's all boy, and he is such a little explorer. Everyday is a new and exciting experience through his eyes and I absolutely love that. He keeps me young. I am beginning to think about his Christmas list... I realize it is June, but June is to the year as Wednesday is to the week. It's humpday for the year, and we all know it is downhill from here. Christmas will be here before we know it and I want to be prepared. Besides that, money doesn't go very far when there is only one income in the household, so planning ahead is for the best. I'll post my Christmas wishlist for Noah soon, once I have it worked out. I am trying to ease the financial stress by trying to find a job... as I have been trying to do the last 15 months to no avail. The job market is pretty slim pickins', but I still keep cranking out the resumes and filling out job applications. I adore being at home with Noah, but I think it will be beneficial for him to go into daycare- not only for socializing purposes, but for educational preparation as well. There's only so much I can do for him in a home setting and I want him to be well prepared for school, overly prepared, even. And I will not throw him into just any daycare. I will do my homework and research absolutely every childcare facility within a 60 mile radius. I want him to be successful- I will not set him up for failure before he even starts his school career. I don't want him going into kindergarten without a healthy dose of self confidence... or social skills for that matter. Noah is not uncivilized by any means. Honestly, I think he is way over on the other end of the spectrum. He's extremely personable and doesn't meet a stranger. He's never had stranger anxiety for that matter, which is good and bad. He loves everyone, especially other kids. He will go up to an unknown child and try to give them a hug and a kiss. It's extremely precious and heartwarming. But then I see the looks on the other parents' faces and it makes me feel sad... for them. Noah is innocent and loving, you know? Eh... anyway. I'm just rambling because this particular entry doesn't really have a point or purpose. I just wanted to write a little bit so I wouldn't lose my focus and passion for writing and updating this blog. 'Til next time, friends!
