<br />
Now the real reason for this blog post. Since before I had the baby, I planned on weaning Lilie from breastfeeding before I started another school year. However, I have become that lady that isn't ready to give it up. Never thought I'd be saying that. She is 6 months old. She has no problem taking formula. But I know with the hours that I work during play season, she is going to have to have a lot more than she is taking now. <br />
<br />
I have done a little bit of research on partial weaning, sounds great, but not sure if it will really work. I hate pumping at work and would really love it if I didn't have to. I have had no supply issues so in theory I guess I should be ok. <br />
<br />
If any of my nursing mom friends have any advice, experience, comments, or thoughts please feel free to share. I need to figure out what I'm gonna do with this baby girl! I just got teary-eyed reading some articles about weaning! How did this happen to me?!?!<br />
<br />

<br />
-Sleeping on her tummy or side but never her back anymore<br />
-Taking naps in her crib (not happy about it though)<br />
-Eating baby food---so far she has had apples,carrots, and sweet potato. Sweet potato is her favorite!<br />
-Sitting up all by herself<br />
-Swimming-we have a water baby<br />
-Teething :(<br />
-Summer Reading!<br />

Now I have an excuse to make cute things. I am not gonna lie. It's a lot harder to make cute things for boys, but this it is a forgivable offense. So here is my first project for Baby Rehder (whom I have already nick-named Tomb Rehder or Tater Rehder.) </div><br />

It was so easy and super cute. I've read several places that baby's like to chew/suck on the grosgrain ribbon. So Julia, here is the first of several creations. (If you think it is ugly I can put a squeaker in it and make it a toy for Dorsey...I've already seen him eyeing it.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Yesterday I had an experience at work that really made me grateful for my mom and dad. Not because they fed me, clothed me, took me on semi-fun vacations (I only say "semi" because a few of those week long car trips have caused me to HATE road trips), and made sure I got good grades in school, and made me go to church, the list could go on and on. But I am grateful to them for teaching me to be a decent human being. They taught me to be respectful to adults. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Neither of my parents are from the south, but we have been here in Memphis since I was but a wee babe. My mom NEVER made me reply with a "yes ma'am" in our house, but I distinctly remember before every slumber party I ever went to my mother firmly telling me, "you better say 'yes ma'am' and 'yes sir' to so and so's parents!" And I always did! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now I am by no means claiming that I was never a mouthy, smart alec teenager. I willingly admit that I got ISS for three days for mouthing off to my Anatomy teacher my senior year of high school. But I also, on my own accord, genuinely apologized to my teacher when I went back to class because I knew I was out of line. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">On days like yesterday, I think I am being punished for those times I was a jerk in high school. I witnessed a student who is supposedly a stand-up student, top of the class, leader in our school treat me (an adult) and her fellow classmates with complete disrespect. After class I called her up and tried to talk with her about the importance of respecting people and her response to me was appalling. She treated me as if I was dirt under her shoe, as if I didn't have the right to judge her behavior. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I left that class thinking, "If I EVER acted like that towards an adult, my parents would have beat the mess out of me." </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So thanks Mom and Dad. I am glad my parents cared about me enough to teach me how to behave. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

He is on his 3rd day of work at Twisted South Magazine. He will be doing ad sales and a little bit of everything else. He comes home happy and is really enjoying it so far. Right now he is being paid hourly for a 60 day probationary period. If things are working out at the end of that, they will talk salary. <br />

I got a brand new silhouette SD for Christmas! WOOO HOOOO! </div><div><br />
</div><div>Pretty exciting stuff. I know. BUT moving on to bigger and better things...This year I have decided to set some goals for myself. Thought I'd share them with the blogosphere.</div><div><div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>My 2011 Resolutions</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>(in no particular order)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. Make a full size quilt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
2. Make a minimum of 12 scrapbook pages (in theory one per month)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Pay off my credit card debt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">4. <s>Have a husband with a full-time job that he enjoys </s></div><div style="text-align: center;"><s>and also somewhat pertains to his newly acquired degree </s></div><div style="text-align: center;"><s>(hopefully I won't have to find a new husband to meet this goal</s>)<br />
Goal Met!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5. Prepare my singing time lessons ahead of time</div><div style="text-align: center;">(once again burying head in shame)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's to hoping I meet at least some of my goals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Started off great. Wearing a new outfit my mom bought me. Maria came to my room first thing this morning to give me my present. A picture frame with a picture of me with all of my students that came to see my show on Saturday night. I have been feeling extremely blessed lately. I have a great husband who is so good to me, and a job where my students care about me and I care so much about them. Unfortunately, as I was sitting at my desk first period, literally reading an article in the commercial appeal about the "live in" issue Shelby County Schools is facing currently, in walks one of my brightest new students with his arms full of text books. From the look on his face, I knew something was wrong. He told me, " They don't believe that I live with my grandmother so they are kicking me out of school and sending me back to Southwind." My heart sank. They can't do that! This boy in the first three and a half weeks has shown more potential to succeed than any student I have taught in 2 years. He is so smart. SO polite. So creative. So kind. He even sold his coupon books! He thanks me at the end of each lesson for teaching. <div><br /></div><div>He continued to tell me the whole reason he wanted to come to Germantown was to do theatre. He had already been volunteering to work in our box office during his study hall. He has been waiting for play auditions to roll around. I am so angry and sad about this. I understand that our school is crowded. I understand that there are a lot of students that should not be enrolled here. But this is a good kid. And to lose him this morning. Really broke my heart. </div><div><br /></div><div>Happy Birthday.</div>Kiriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06988266698071870949noreply@blogger.com2
