tired...and it's only Wednesday...

oh wait... it's Tuesday... Long weekends totally mess me up. It feels like Thursday... I need more sleep! Thursday? err. Monday?

Whatever.

The important thing? There's less than 30 days left of the school year (27 days with students to be exact). I can't wait. ;-)

Ben has transitioned well and I've slowly gotten the hang of it. It's still really hard leaving him during the day though. I'm okay as long as I don't think about him or what he could be getting into (which is everything and anything). I also find it hard leaving him because he's learning things so quickly. This week alone he understood words for toes, ears and fingers, Tigger (and give Tigger a hug), and where is Bluey? It's crazy how fast he's picking up on stuff. Today he opened a book and said 'beebo'... (the Sandra Boynton belly button classic). He associated hippos with the word beebo. So weird! Kinda scary to think about what he actually understands.

He's also pretty clear about what he likes and dislikes. He won't go near (or touch) anything that remotely resembles a piece of fruit. Purees -- totally fine. Put it in a chunky solid form and he won't go near it. We also tried raw carrot today but he couldn't get past the texture of the cold, hard, raw carrot to even try it. I tried to reason with him that it was indeed carrot... (and that some people actually eat ONLY RAW food...) but he didn't believe me. He then proceeded to rub raw carrot in his hair, on his shirt and dump it onto the floor (his ultimate -- I hate this ... don't feed this to me -- action). I think he had more carrot on him...than actually in him. Adam needed to scrub his hair to get the orange out. I think raw carrot actually stains more than cooked carrot (if you were so interested).

K. it's 940pm... time for bed. (just like that? yup... absolutely. I'm tired...and it's only -- Tuesday)...
