I know, it's been forever. But I finally have a bit of a break and am not in the mood to do any of the other things that I normally do in my spare time, so I'm blogging. What a great way to start, huh?
I'll try to update all of my loyal readers on the recent happenings of The Hunters 5.
My sweet new baby doll is almost 7 months old. Celeste is very close to 18 lbs, and very close to crawling. She loves food but loves water (and any other drink) moreso. I switched her to cloth diapers at 5 months- I'll have to dedicate a post or two about that- so that is a pretty cool new development. She is quite the mama's girl, but then, so were the other two during their nursing period. She absolutely adores her siblings, especially Auron who can make her crack up by just standing there watching the grass grow.
Chloe finished her first year of school and I would say that it was a raving success! She has learned and grown so much in this past year and I am so proud of her bravery and dedication this year. She no longer solicits others to do all of her "work" like zipping up her jacket, she can write, spell, and recognize her name. She knows every letter in the alphabet and the sound that each makes. She's more adventurous, which is evident when she plays at the park. She never used to be courageous enough to go down the slide, but now she flies down the large one with joy! She is starting to show early reading skills and is very interested in books. She is always asking me to read stories to her- which I totally love! She is very excited for Kindergarten.
Auron has matured as a 3 year old and has gotten through his constant grumpiness that ailed him for the past several months. His vocabulary and problem-solving skills have skyrocketed. He enjoys being a big brother to Celeste; I think it makes him feel proud and accomplished to show her things and to take care of her. He is getting ready to start his first year of preschool in the fall and he seems pretty hyped about that. I hope they take care of him. 3 years old still seems young for school, but he loves to challenge himself so much that I'm hoping it will be a blast for him.
I am close to finishing my Bachelor's degree. Next week I start a new term- which will be my 2nd to last- and I'm taking an English and Math class. My degree plan was audited awhile back and it was determined that I was short on these classes. Boo! Oh, well. I just hope that I can keep up my GPA.
I recently applied to a distance ed master's program at the University of Bridgeport, which is located in Connecticut. Their nutrition program is incredible and focuses on holistic philosophy. I am praying that I'll be accepted into the program for Jan 2012. I know it's a boatload of more debt but it will open doors for me to great opportunities which will hopefully come with good pay. So once I graduate with my Master's, I figure I will have been in school for a total of 20 years! I will be 28 by then- Daniel will be 30ish, Chloe- 7, Auron- 5, Celeste- 2. Who knows? I might just keep going and seek a PhD! Time will tell.
Great! Blogging is good for putting the brain in sleep-mode. I guess it just needed a bit of an exercise before hitting the sack. G'night world.
