Happy Birthday, Baby S!
It seems that this last year has flown by, and now baby S is one. She's not so much a baby anymore. She can't walk yet, and that, to me anyway, is sort of the last vestige of being a baby. In so many other ways, she's very much a toddler, and the little baby of a year ago is definitely a thing of the past.
It's sort of strange to know that I won't ever have this experience of a baby again, as we're pretty much settled on having only two kids. What with C's health issues and all, it just doesn't seem like a good idea, and "quit while you're ahead" seems to be a good motto in life. So, we're passed that baby stage and moving on to other things. In some ways I feel a little sad about it because there ARE so many things to enjoy about an itty bitty baby. On the other hand, though, there are SO many wonderful things about a toddler and a preschooler and a kindergartener....and....and...and.
The first time around, I did feel sad when each stage passed because with a baby everything seems to go so fast. But over time, I learned how wonderful the next stage is, and came to enjoy it and mourn its passing too. This time, I feel a little more zen about the whole thing, just enjoying where we are now. Which is good, because I think that's where I need to be.
Right now seems to be a good time to stop and catch a breath. C may be doing better, although I'm always hesitant to say that, just in case. J is doing okay, but it's hard to parent a gifted child, and it's hard to send them to school, too. I think we're starting to get a handle on some of those issues, too, and that's helping. I'll write more on J in the near future. The whole dissertation defense went well, and now I'm Dr. C (I guess, it still doesn't feel real!). The dog and the cat, who are snuggling with me as I write this, are doing well.
Happy Birthday, Baby S! May this next year be as good as this very moment.

Read through the Goldstone Report on the UN. Written by a Jew (he's an alto now since the ZioNazi;'s castrated him), but, he not only got to visit his grandson (Whew!), but he was offered a job by Romney on the Mormon Tabernacle choir (as an alto, of course) where he now does Shabbot!, LOL!

I have learned some points through your blog post. One other subject I would like to say is that there are lots of games in the marketplace designed specially for preschool age children. They involve pattern acknowledgement, colors, creatures, and styles. These commonly focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This keeps little kids engaged without having a sensation like they are studying. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions you have provided here. Something important I would like to say is that personal computer memory requirements generally increase along with other improvements in the technological innovation. For instance, when new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there's usually a similar increase in the scale calls for of both the laptop or computer memory and hard drive room. This is because the software program operated by means of these cpus will inevitably boost in power to benefit from the new technology.
