Rambling

I sit here not really sure what to write.  I find myself still amazed that a whole year is almost past since my sweet little baby was born.  Today has been pretty typical, we went grocery shopping this morning then came home and tried to put Grey down for a nap which took about 2 hours... I'm realizing the inconsistency in Greyson's schedule during the week makes my brain (that loves schedules and consistency) have a difficult time when he does that.  He's also been teething so that could be a reason it was difficult too.

This week I decided to stop using the infant tub and let Greyson have full reign of the bath tub.  It's really overdue and he could have probably been doing this for months I just didn't have a plug stopper for the tub.  He loved bathtime but I think he loves it even more now.  He slides around on his belly, stands up and shouts, and sits to play --- always moving.  It's really fun to watch him.

We also got our first Groove Book yesterday.  A couple weeks ago we saw it on Shark Tank and signed up right after seeing it.  It's a monthly book of 100 picutres from your iphone for only $2.99 each month! I keep telling people about it because I think its just so cool.  I didn't do anything with my phone pictures before but always take so many so now I'm excited to have something that keeps those memories to look at from time to time.

This week has been emotional at work.  I went with a family wednesday to a doctors appointment who got news of a possible diagnosis of monoplegic cerebral palsy.  They are the sweetest family with triplets and I really enjoy working with them.  The boy I see is almost 2 and almost walking but we were concerned about asymmetry in his legs so I wanted to make sure that his hips were located properly.  Turned out that the hips were good but the doctor felt some tone in the right leg and thought it was possible so she ordered a brain MRI.  I was completely taken by surprise and so was the mom.  We had talked about possible situations before coming in and CP didn't even cross my mind... luckily I believe that means it's very mild if present at all.  I was glad to have been there with her at the appointment though!  I also picked up a little girl yesterday who was abused in a home daycare.  Those situations just make me angry that someone would hurt a perfect baby and cause possible lifelong problems.  Anyway, these situations make me thankful that I am able to be there to help families when they need it the most.  I feel so fulfilled with my job and thankful for the opportunity that God has given me
