Andrew's new climber

I have recently had a few great finds on craigslist. This is a Step 2 Kangaroo Climber that Andrew absolutely loves. He loves playing peekaboo through all of the holes and going in and out of the door. The slide is fun too, but he still needs help! I've been excited about developing a small play area for him outside and will add a water table soon.

For the Young at Art

I have started reading a book called "For the Young at Art." Very excited about it, we introduced Andrew to his first crayon today. He of course had to taste it and had black all over his face. He did succeed in making a few scribbles on the page and we were very excited. I really like the book and plan on following the suggestions to allow Andrew to develop creatively.

Months later

A long time has lapsed since I last posted. People have actually asked me about it! I didn't know that others actually read this! Well, truth is, since striving so much to grow and live for Christ and then posting about it in previous posts, not much has happened. I have not grown as much as I wished. So I've somewhat avoided the blog thing. Pray that I could grow in my study of the Word and Prayer time with our Father.

On a regular day to day note. Andrew continues to amaze me. He says a few words and seems to know a lot. I was amazed the other night when I said, "Night Night," and he said it right back. I can't believe he'll be one soon, and am excited about celebrating his first birthday. He crawls at lightning speeds and stands well... soon he'll take his first steps!

I love craigslist and have recently had a few great finds... a jogging stroller and an outdoor "climber" ie playground thingy for Andrew. If you must know, I have not jogged
with it yet, but have taken some nice walks. I'm working myself up mentally to actually go running!
