Lady Notte is just settling down for her last long month. Her constant movement is slowing down as we both get bigger. Right now it seems she's head down though we have a C Section scheduled for January 10th. We'll leave the rest up to the gods. Speaking of gods, thank god for Amazon...my holiday shopping and nesting has consisted of me waking up early or before bed adding things to my Amazon cart and then shipping them near and far. I hate lines, I love Amazon.
Work has been going well for both of us. I just got to do a district professional development for all new teachers on PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support.) I'm trying to create a strong presence around this great philosophy and hopefully gather interest for a district position next year where I'd be able to support schools in their implementation. My grad school classes have really complimented my new job and it's been great. I can't believe less than two weeks left. Then I might be back for a couple days after the New Year before I go on leave until May!
Cody's been in undies since October and doing awesome. He was rewarded with a sweet firetruck. We're so happy and lucky that it was actually the daycare that encouraged and supported us to take the plunge and go all undies. He's in a swim class without us on Saturdays too, he's such a big boy! The first class was a demo in torture as the four little ones screamed for 30 minutes, now there's three left in the class and they are great and swim with one of two instructors and wait patiently for their turn in between. Then Greg and I hop in the pool (so liberating when preggers) and we all swim for another half hour together. It's been a good Saturday activity with the recent heavy rains.
While we look forward to time off and celebrating the holidays, it will be our first Christmas without visiting family back home. I'm sure they'll be lots of Skyping and plenty of family favorite foods to keep us connected to those we love. Happy Holidays!
