No Time!

I just went back to "full" time. I'm doing 32 hours, taking Tuesdays off to get Chase to his summer programs. I'm working 8 hours a day, but wow, it goes fast.

Chase Update
Chase is doing AWESOME! His vocabulary has just blossumed over the last two weeks. He is even counting. His speech therapist said it's really good that he points to and actually is counting things, not just saying numbers. Here's how he counts, "1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 6." It's great.
The kids are at daycare now three days a week. Chase's teacher is great, and he is doing good so far. (Cory wasn't happy at first, but is starting to really like it, too!) The interaction with the other kids is so good for Chase, so I'm glad he's having fun.
We go back to our therapy group next Tuesday. He's come a long way since our last session. I just hope he shows them in group. Sometimes, he saves it for home. We'll see.

Fun Stuff
We've been doing some fun stuff, including a trip to the Toledo Zoo. My mom couldn't come at the last minute, so I had to take them myself, since I already promised Chase we would go. We were in the zoo for 6.5 hours! They were so good. See the slideshow pictures.
We've been seeing my friend Susanne and her kids a lot lately. We're having such a great time! Susanne even watched both kids while I had an appointment last night! That's the first time someone other than me, Craig, my mom, my sister, or daycare has ever watched them. It's kind of a big thing for me. I wasn't worried about Susanne being able to watch them, I was worried about them destroying her house! It went pretty well, and Susanne even bought Chase a Sponge Bob ice cream from the Ice Cream Truck. Thanks, Susanne! You SO rock!

How do you get to switch from full time to part time so easily? Your company must be great to work for!

Cute pics. 6.5 hours at the zoo would kill me! You are so brave.

I've been using FMLA so that I could keep our health insurance. So, I was only in the office 20 hours per week and only paid for 20 hours. It is nice that they count 32 hours as full time.

Cute pics. You are super woman to have made it that long at the zoo. I would have been out of there after 2.5 hours.

I see the sit n stand was hard at work. ;)

I only made it that long because the kids were loving it. No way would I have stayed if they were crabby! I guess we did have one little incident when Chase wanted a red twisty straw for his slush and there were only green ones.
