Quick Update

Like mother ...

Alex doesn't like peas. He's not really a picky eater (so far, anyway), but he really doesn't like peas. We've tried sweet peas alone, and a country vegetable mix with peas. Like his mama, he just doesn't like peas. If you really want to know how much I hated peas as a kid, ask my dad about the time I sat at the dinner table for hours and was only released from that prison cell after I regurgitated peas onto my white t-shirt. Well, that's pretty much the whole story, but, trust me, if a kid is willing to make herself puke, it's probably just easier to give up. I promise, though, I will not force brussel sprouts on the poor kid.

Daddy

Daddy will no longer be a stay-at-home daddy. While Andy has thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with Alex, he's looking forward to embarking on a new career path. On Monday he starts work as a recruiter for Hyundai's manufacturing plant in Montgomery. Which leads us to ...

School

Alex starts school on Monday! We got Alex into our #1 pick for day care (it only took us calling three days in a row). He begins his learnin' on July 7 at Growing Room. Yeah, it's one of the pricier ones, but we believe it will be well worth it. While I'm not looking forward to leaving him with strangers, I'm (selfishly) looking forward to seeing the happy (I hope!) expression on his face at the end of each day when his mama comes to get him!

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Alex has figured out that wherever he wants to go, he can get there by rolling. That's bad news for us. In the last week, we have found he has rolled off his mat and doing the following: pushing his pacifier beneath the couch, pulling on the dog's butt hair, knocking the fireplace tools off their stand, and smacking the heck out of Andy's PlayStation 3. He's not supposed to be so mobile yet! Aack - we need to baby-proof the house quick!
