Well, it has been a year for sure! I am still teaching and my son is still growing at a rapid pace. He is now 2 and a half and I find myself more sad at the fact he is no longer a baby. I love to see him growing, but I feel like I am forgetting the little things that he does (he is always advancing so fast anymore, I can't keep up.) I think I am going to start a journal and write down each month the highlights, like things he says, milestones, etc. I think if I keep it as a monthly thing I can maintain it.
I feel like I never sit down and am behind in everything theses days. I sometimes feel like I must be doing something wrong, it has to be more simple right? In a world that is constantly on the go, I find myself running trying to keep up. I just wish there was a way to simplify things, so I could actually slow down to enjoy life more. Any ideas or tips?

Back to Work
I am starting back to work tomorrow for the first time in 3 years. I have to go back for financial reasons and while I am very grateful to have gotten this job, I am a mess. I started Gavin in daycare and am trying to get him used to the new schedule. He got bit yesterday on his arm and I felt awful to have put him in the situation in the first place. I knew that when I went back it would be hard, but wow, it really hurts! I was very fortunate to have stayed with him this long and I do cherish the time we had together.
Gavin has been acting out and it makes me feel horrible and guilty. He has been a little bit of a stinker before I put him in (Terrible 2's) but now he melts down every 5 seconds. He began spitting in my face and pushing the limits like never before. The other night I was putting him down to bed and he would not give me sugars. Instead he swung at me and spit in my face. I had to hand him off to Kevin and went down stairs crying. I try not to take it personal, but I know my kid better than anyone else and I know he is mad at me. It's really weird because he is SUPER clingy and yet very distant at the same time. Anyone else have problems like this? Please share!!
