Back to the grind, er, work

Well we are back in the thick of things. I have been back to work a few weeks now. I am enjoying the change to Theatre Arts. The students love the class and I bask in their energy. The days seem longer but my work is easier this year once the kids leave for the day. There isn't as much planning since I see every class in the school...I don't have to write lesson plans as much. I DO miss spending my days with Soleil though. She is growing like a weed. She already has 6 teeth; four on top and two on the bottom. She is crawling everywhere and very quickly! She likes to stand up and play with things on the coffee table (or pull them all down). She is really quick on the potty too. She usually goes right when I set her on it. I am home from school today (and yesterday) because she woke up with a high fever. It finally broke last night and she got really cold, but she was back to her normal (or abnormal) self today. Nana and Mawmaw are coming for a visit tomorrow. I am excited for them to see Soleil in her own environment. Hopefully that will help her warm up to them quicker than when we went out to Alabama to visit them. We are disappointed that Pawpaw can't come visit, but he is busy with things back home. Soleil might also meet her uncle Kevin this weekend. He might be trucking by Dallas! That would be neat since the only one on my side of the family that has met her so far is my dad.

Soleil has a few words. She can say Da-Da, Ma-Ma, bye-bye key-cah(kitty cat), ma(mas) bah (ball) and a few more but not really on cue. She tried to copy the sign language for bird today. It was really cute.

Here are some pics!
