Still Trying to Catch Up

I'm not feeling so "anti-blogging" this week, so I figured I'd better catch up on some other things while I'm in the mood! :)

First of all, will somebody please tell me what happened to my baby?! I don't know why I've been in denial about this for so long now, especially since Ty no longer has a bottle or a binky, and can talk like crazy, but I've just still been struggling with it. Because of this, I wasn't even considering taking him out of his crib for another 6 months - why would I? That's the last shred of "babyness" that I have left! (Except for diapers, of course...) But starting about a month ago, he was just sleeping miserably at night. He would toss and turn, crying all the time, even when I would put him to bed. Finally, I got wondering why he was acting this way, and then it dawned on me that maybe it was time for a toddler bed. "Toddler bed" - oh, those words about made me want to cry - my baby is NOT a toddler, I was thinking! :) But based on my claustrophobia, I started sympathizing with Ty and worrying that he was feeling trapped in his crib. So I gave in... And he LOVES it. He sleeps so well now, and never complains about going to bed! But still, it was a sad day!

Also, last Friday, I had my first piano recital with my current students. I've taught 30 different students over the years and I have to admit, this set of students has been the best I've ever had. They practice faithfully, and when they don't, they're actually honest with me about it! :) So I was really excited for the recital, and as expected, it went great! I was so proud of everybody. But now, I have to admit that I'm glad it's over - it was a lot of stress and I'm relieved I don't have to do it again for another 7 months! :)

And last, our old house in Logan is for sale! And no, we're not moving back into it. Ha ha! But we found it online and it was really fun to look at what the new owners have done with the inside of it. (Although I have to admit, it was kind of hard to see those pictures. It brought back a lot of memories...) So here's a link if you want to check it out: http://www.utahrealestate.com/863330. When you get to that page, click on the "More Photos" tab. It looks really cute - I'm glad to see they've taken such good care of it!

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully ya'll won't have to wait another 2 weeks to hear from me! :) -Ash
