Almost another month has gone by

School starts next Monday and I have yet to find a job. God is definitely testing my patience. This has been the hardest summer of my life. I never knew staying at home and taking care of my son could be so exhausting. My brain usually shuts down at 6 pm from trying to plan activities so he won't be bored to deciding what to make for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (That's saying a lot since I just finished one of the hardest school years ever.) Kinsler is used to being with 10 other kids all day long. He thrives off the other kids and I can tell he truly misses them. It has also been the hottest summer ever which means we can't stay outside very long if at all, and even the pool has lost its appeal.

Enough of the griping. It has been fun hanging out with my lil man and watching him grow. He is doing a lot of new things and is so goofy! He has recently found a love for cars and trucks he can push around.  He  still loves to look at his books. we catch him all the time in his rocking chair looking at his books and pressing the song buttons on his read a-loud books. We go to the doctor at the end of the month for his 18 month check up! I can't wait to see how big he has grown! I know weight wise he won't be much bigger than his last check up but I can't wait to see his height record! He is jabbering away all the time and loves to holler for mama or daddy and wait for us to ask "what" before he just jabbers away about something really important. :) Of course we have to respond so that we can see him smile at how we understand him.

Until next time...
