To wake or not to wake... that is the question

Poor little Owen played so hard in his saucer yesterday that he fell asleep in it. This left Brian and I with the question of whether or not we should try to move him to his crib (with the risk of waking him up), or leave him to nap in this position? Of course, we had to move him- this just looks so uncomfortable. He did not wake up, thank goodness.



Things around our house have been busy, busy, busy lately. To start off with, I have received all three questions for my comprehensive exam. I have six weeks (well, five now) to write research papers answering each question. I have been working on this very diligently, and I am making good progress. Once I complete these essays, I will defend my responses before a committee. Passing the defense means that I can be declared an official doctoral candidate and that I can start working through the dissertation process.


Olivia's potty training is going well. We still have a ways to go before she is fully trained, but she continues to make good progress. She seems to do better going at daycare then at home- which leads me to some great news. Owen and Olivia's daycare has been taken over by the Ware BOE, and so it will not close. This takeover is on a trial basis until June. If it can turn a profit, then the takeover may be indefinite. This may or may not be a permanent fix, but Brian says (and I agree) that any extra amount of time that our kids are able to spend with the ladies at this daycare has to be viewed as a positive thing.
