Week 4 Birthday

Look at that chubby face. haha
Today Caden uncelebrated his 4th week birthday. Is he now one month old or does that come on September 2nd? Weird how months aren't really 4 weeks. Anyway, he uncelebrated by crying a lot. He is doing this uninteresting thing where he gets so tired that he can't fall asleep. It would be great if he was staying awake more and being peaceful during that time, or even fun if that is possible. But no, lil' chubby likes to scream a lot when he can't fall asleep, even if it takes him two hours to do so. That's new to the last few days, hmmm, what else is new?

He is 10 lbs 5 oz now, so he has gained a full two pounds in the last 2 weeks. He is eating plenty and getting plenty of eating. Poor mommy, she hasn't slept much for awhile now. This very moment is the first time in two nights he has been sleeping peacefully during the evening hours.

I hope you can all hear the undercarriage of sarcasm and subtle grinning in my words. If you read them without a smile on your face then it might sound like Im complaining. Im staring at his fat face while Im typing this so its hard not to feel joyful even if Im talking about unjoyful things. Trying to think of something else thats new from Caden in the last week, ummmm.......nope, got nothing.

Work is awesome and intense right now. I have two new blogs that you can bookmark or RSS if you want to see what Im doing over there. The first one talks about cool online programs (for the most part) that Im trying to use for education although that was not their original intent (for the most part). Im encouraging my kids to get away from more traditional work and be more creative. First Day of Kindergarten

The 2nd blog is about my philosophies of education, online education news, things happening at my school. I Need to Rant
If you are bored and have time, check these out or RSS them for regular reading, they will give you a more holistic understanding of who I am and where I am going in my career.

As far as Sarah's career goes, she is a happy/tired/cranky/moody/loving/understanding mom (for the most part) for the next 3 months, then back to work.
