I am so ready to start my A&P class. I have been ready since .... the beginning of Intro to Computers. I don't think it is the class that is bothering me it is the people in it! I don't know maybe I am a horrible person but if people keep complaining, crying, and threatening NOT to do something b/c it is too hard I might just pull my hair out! I am usually a very nice and even tempered person ... I just don't know about some of these people. Enough venting.
Friday we take our last quiz and the final in Intro to Computers. I thought that class was pretty good. It was a bit dry and slow going but I don't think that it was the instructor Mr. Cowland is awesome.... it was more or less the mix of experience levels in the class. SO Friday is the final I am super stoked and then Monday we start in A&P.... and the best part is not having to dress in business casual :) Finally some scrubs and sneakers.
BTW... It is NOT weird to compete with someone for grades! You know everyone does it .... this time we are actually verbally consenting knowledge of our little ...competition :)

It is almost three p.m. and I could actually go to bed right now! Not that there is any reason for it because I really didn't do much today, not even as much as I had planned on doing and I am fried. This morning was quite interesting with all Max's terrible 2 tantrums. He was fine until I actually picked him up out of the crib. The minute his feet touched the floor he was crying for some toast.
This kid I swear will eat nothing but toast forever! He has eaten a piece of toast every morning for breakfast for almost three months now and refuses to eat anything else (well first at least)
So we got toast and went out on the porch with my tea to wake up a little and he is climbing in my lap, crawling through the screen door in his pajamas (the smallest part at the bottom of the door popped out from someone kicking it). So I have a little barefoot spider man running through the backyard screaming about toast and barking.
All our neighbors must think that we are strange! Well at least me and my son anyway.
When Nonni and Pap decided that they were going out to lunch and going to the grocery store I thought it would be nice and quiet here for at least a little bit. No No I thought wrong. Max starts wailing that he wants to go so I packed Max and Nick up and we went to the park for a little bit. Max is definitely a people watcher and absolutely not a follower * for now at least*. When we arrived at the park there was a few kids there mostly Max's age and one a little older, because there were two kids in the baby swings I tried to get Max to climb the equipment with Uncle Nick and slide down the slide to Mommy... Well I ended up climbing with him and sliding with him down the slide ... only twice then Max saw a free swing and that was it. I spent almost an hour swinging him (which he enjoys).
During this hour he is intently watching all these kids ( there are many more at varied ages now) running around. He wouldn't say a word, and when he did it was barely audible ... sometimes when he is shy it is just so cute :) I just don't know why going to the park for an hour is so exhausting considering I didn't do anything but swing Max and slide the slide twice??

Boys are made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails
Well Max is definitely all boy and has reached the "terrible two's"! Yesterday I went to pick him up from daycare, they were all outside playing. He has a lot of fun there but when it is time to come home he is ready ...for now anyway ;). So on the way home we are saying bye to all the cars and trucks and whatever we may pass. As soon as we got home and out of the car the temper starts.
I don't usually mind his tempers because I have found if you ignore him then he will either give up or calm down and want to be held so we came inside and had a snack. After his snack he insisted to have more and when I said no (because dinner was in 1 1/2 hours) he threw another fit. this one lasted about ten maybe fifteen minutes until I convinced him to go outside and play in the backyard for a little while. Mind you I convinced him, which is a first!
So Max is outside playing between his sandbox and the big car while I sit down to enjoy my cup of tea and make a phone call. Before I even sit down I noticed Max picking up something from the ground (which appeared to be mulch from his play area) I didn't think too much about it until he ripped a small piece from it and attempted to put it in his mouth. When I call out to him "What do you think you are doing?? No Max " he turned his head and scowled at me for a few seconds before saying broken and then placing the larger piece in his mouth! So I said no again got up and walked out to retrieve this "mulch" only to find that it is not mulch it is a enormous dead grasshopper!
I went to take it from him saying it was dirty he snatched his hands away and started running away yelling "LET GO" ... so he doesn't say mine but I hear let go all the time! Needless to say it took me a couple tries before I actually got this dead bug from him. Only after he had proceeded to rip all of the legs off and one of the wings off. Having a boy is.... interesteing
