Getting Started

I've never done a blog before, but I'm constantly sending updates in emails about Mikayla. So, here goes the first blog....

Mikayla and I moved to Bossier toward the end of July so that I could teach in Bossier Parish. It was an opportunity I could not pass up This is the first time Mikayla and I have really been on our own. I'll admit it- I was scared at first. I now truly feel like a single parent, but I now have learned that I am strong enough to handle it. There will be tough times, but the good definitely outweighs the bad. There is nothing more enjoyable in the world than being a mom. I feel truly blessed to be where I am today, and I wouldn't change anything!!!! Well, I would add more hours in the day if I could :-).

I didn't know about putting Mikayla in Daycare fulltime after having her wonderful Mimi to keep her all the time. It has been a huge adjustment on Mikayla and I both, but I truly believe that it is something she needed. She learns a lot of new things every day. Of course not everything she learns is great! For some reason she now takes a sip of drink and then spits it back out, and she is beginning to do the same thing with food! I was told by the OT that it could be a sensory issue or it may be a behavior problem. I don't think my little princess could have a behavior problem!!!! (haha) Maybe it's just terrible twos?

Mikayla is currently asleep- at least last time I checked, so that means I must go get things done that she wouldn't let me get done. This will be the first of many posts I'm sure- as long as I can figure this out.
