FEAR FACTOR HERE WE COME

Well I have heard so many people say, "Your child will get a hold of some type of bug...." and I would tell myself NOT GOING TO HAPPEN to my child......

Yesterday morning, Daddy and Averi were playing on the carpet in the leaving room, Brad got up to get something and I was coming around the corner, looked over at Averi and she is going to town on something. I went straight over to see what it was and in my mind I was thinking it was a leaf because last week at school I was called out of my classroom because she was choking on one, well it was totally not what I had expected. It was some type of roach. I took off with her to the bathroom, to brush her teeth and get that mouth cleaned.....the whole time guess what Averi was doing....SCREAMING BECAUSE I TOOK THE ROACH.......can you imagine?

Monday night Poppie, Nonnie, Brad and I were in the leaving room playing with Averi and she took FIVE STEPS....here and there she has been taking a small step trying to get used to it, but these steps were the real thing. After she took them we all start clapping and she looked at us like we had lost our minds.

Last week I was offered a five day a week position at St. Andrew's. Very hard decision to make, after many of hours of praying and Brad and I talking about it I took the position. My aide that helped me MWF, took over my class and I moved across the hall. We are now in the process of trying to hire an aide for me. I am very happy to be doing what I have always wanted to do.

I took Averi to get the 2nd part of her flu shot yesterday, I asked the nurse to weigh her because usually they wait until the big check ups to get all the information on them. She is moving on up 17 pounds 3 ounces, of course I was so excited and someone stated, "Kelli she is going to be under 20 pounds at a year". I just look at it like this, she is eating, moving right along, and there is nothing stopping her or in her way, she is fine, just tiny. A year old.....can not talk about it right now, I have to go to work and I don't want to be depressed........TIME FLYS!
