An update

So here we are on night #4 of Hope sleeping in her own room. It's going really well. She actually likes sleeping in her bed...as long as either Mark or I are next to her bed. I wonder how long this part of the transition will last?? Baby steps. I have to admit that I miss her at night. I actually get lonely that she's not next to me. And yet I'm enjoying all the space in my bed. So we're getting there.

Tonight I taught 6th-8th grade confirmation like I do every Wednesday night. Tonight we talked about S-E-X (yep...it's OK to talk about that at church). Almost every Wednesday night we play this game where a question will appear on the big screen (I use power point to teach) and then four answers will appear. The kids have to guess which is the correct answer. Very game show-ish. It's fun and they're learning. It's good all around. Well, one of the questions tonight was this: "God intended sex to be:" and before I could even get any of the answers up on the screen, one of my 6th grade boys yelled out "illegal." I just busted a gut!! So funny!!!

It's late. I'm finally coming down from a great high-energy night with the kids, so it's time to finish watching Top Chef and get to bed.

Oh...another first for us starts tomorrow. Mark and I have both decided that it's time for Hope to start interacting more with kids her own age (Mark's parents watch Hope while I'm at work, so other than story time at the library once a week, she gets very little social time with other kids). Beginning tomorrow, she'll be going each Thursday to daycare at my friend Lisa's house. Lisa does daycare in her home, so this will be great. Wait until Hope gets to her next step to being a big girl: getting rid of that dang pacifier (or pico, as she calls it). That'll happen sometime between now and July 19th (her 3rd birthday).
