Books are Fun

There is a Barney song that goes "books are fun, books are great, is it book time yet oh I just can't wait, to read a book!" Well, books are not fun and not great when you have read about 16 of them out loud - some of them twice in a row. I never thought I would discourage my child from reading, but she is nutso with the books. She loves to be read to, and sometimes she is downright demanding about it. At this rate she should be reading by the age of 3.
Right now poor baby has a cold, which she got from Max. I feel so bad for her, and at the same time I hope I don't get it. I missed her so much while I was in MS, but she was totally fine. I came home and it was as if I'd never left. She has been very clingy the past couple of days though. The MS trip was okay, but I was very uncomfortable going with my boss and being with all those managers. The good thing was we got to eat at fancy restaurants and go to a casino. I didn't actually gamble, but it's just fun being in one because you really feel like you're on vacation. I might be going back in July, but we'll see if that happens. Honestly, I am still so torn between staying at this job or being a teacher. I checked the county website today and there are so many teaching openings, and I might actually have a shot at one. Ava is really the reason that I don't want to teach right now, just because of the whole day care issue. I hate saying that because it sounds like I'm blaming her, but that isn't the case. It is my own personal struggle and decision. I just want to do what's best for her.

Thanks! Wow that is a big decision you have to make. What grade would you teach if you decided to do that...elementary?

I'm sure Ava is glad you are back home too! Was that the first time you left her overnight?
