Jason became and old man yesterday... well, at least 'old' compared to me!
Someone else is getting older too. Abygail! While she is not turning another year older at this time she is about to enter a new stage in life, the school stage. We found a Head Start program that had one opening left and we quickly grabbed it up. The HS program here seems to be really great (only time will actually tell). Jason and I had the chance to go and tour the facility today and meet the teachers and staff and, let me tell ya, we were pleasantly impressed and felt very comfortable with the environment and staff. She's been approved and met all the requirements and on Tuesday she will begin.

The Day's Happenings
1. Jackson crawled out of the living room today for the first time. Life as we know it has changed. No more keeping that boy in one room. If he sees us leave he's headed straight for the path where I disappeared. The Dr. was a little surprised yesterday at his weight gain and asked if he moved around a lot. We replied "He crawls everywhere and we can't keep him in one spot for 2 seconds". She said "He's crawling?" We said "OH YES! He's either crawling, jumping in his jumper or sleeping because that's what he likes to do". Then she said "Well, than, that explains his weight."
2. Abygail had her first REAL conversation on the telephone. We called Daddy at work and he asked her a series of questions in which she responded correctly and then he asked her what she had for lunch and she said (with her thinking look on - rolling her eyes heavenward) "umm, (pause) gapes (translation - grapes), umm, (pause) roni (translation - macaroni), umm, (pause) tuna." It's so amazing to hear her and see her actually responding to questions and responding correctly.
3. Abygail peed on the carpet - this was really my fault. I should have understood what she was trying to tell me. She was pulling at her diaper and said "pee pee". I asked her if she went pee pee in her diaper and she said yes. I asked her if she wanted a diaper change and she said yes so I took it off. Then in the 5 seconds or so that it took me to go in the next room to get a new diaper she did her business in the middle of the living room. Good thing we'll be cleaning that carpet when we move! She's been telling us before she goes poo poo for the last week and we put her on the potty, she doesn't do anything but rather waits until we put her diaper back on (after she tells us she's done and doesn't need to go poo poo any more) then messes in her diaper. I'm sure she's getting close to being ready for potty training. I hope she can wait just another week until Jason is out of school so there will be two of us around to pay more attention to the immediate needs of potty training.
4. A CD was found in the VCR player - hmm, wonder how that happened?! Could it have been my little girl? I think so! It sure did frustrate me when I kept trying to put in the Blues Clues tape and it wouldn't work. I thought "O GREAT, the VCR is broken!"
5. Jason surprised us by coming home before midnight! This week has just been a killer, Jason's final is on Friday and he's had tons of work to do to prepare for the end of the semester so he's been gone by 9am and gone until after midnight for the better part of a week now. So I was gearing up to put Abygail to bed when we heard him come in the front door at 7:30 - Boy was I glad to see the relief squad!

A Pain In The Neck
It snowed last night and this morning. The first REAL snow, we have about 4 inches on the ground and it is so pretty and white.
This morning while getting ready for church Jason fell. Not on the snow, not even outside. He fell out of the rocking chair. Well actually he fell back and hurt his neck really bad. He immediately went to the couch and laid down because he couldn't move his neck at all. So we stayed home and pampered daddy. It hasn't gotten much better and he is teaching tomorrow so we've decided that I'll need to take him to work (could you imagine him driving without the use of his neck?!?!). I hope that he gets better soon, it's very sad but also SOOO VERY FUNNY!
Last week and this weekend has just been crazy, Jason has been gone all week studying, teaching and he just had to start working a new lab rotation. So the research begins - he'll be working in the lab during the Winter Break as well. This week he'll be super busy again, he's got a final on Friday and then he has a test to write over the up coming weekend and then he's done (except for the research) until mid January when school starts up again.
For now we will just enjoy the fabulous weather and start getting ready to pack and move.
