Sasha's Vocabulary List: mama, dada, papa, food (which can mean food or, in combination with boob-grabbing, "nurse me NOW"), cheese (which also means any kind of food she likes), ba (means bath), poop, truck/sock/quack/cracker (all pronounced "cock"), hat, bankie (blanket), Jo (Jordan), Ka-ee (Karlye), eye, nose, teeth, cheeks, chest, foot, shoe, ball, bike, Abbie (the neighbor girl), baby (usually in reference to her baby doll), me (while admiring herself in the mirror), boop (means book), a wide array of animal sounds with gorilla (complete with chest thumping) being the current favorite, and several I'm sure I'm forgetting
Theory Confirmed: Just because Sasha is more independent than Jordan was as a baby does not make her easier to care for. Example: Earlier this week she decided to put her face in the water at bath time. She doesn't know that she needs to hold her breath. Bath time ended dramatically with a lovely choking, coughing, crying session. Jordan wouldn't put his face in the water until last summer, age 4. Go figure.
Sentimental Moment: My baby's growing up too fast (and not the little one either). Jordan had kindergarten visitation today! I can't believe I'm old enough to have a child in kindergarten. I'm beset by elementary school flashbacks...
Economic Nightmare Resolved: We had a panic a few weeks ago when Justin (along with 234 other Sub Zero employees) received word that they would be laid off indefinitely as of June 13th. Not only is this not the time to be looking for a job, but even in the best economy other manufacturing jobs around here don't come close to paying what he makes now (ie. enough money to pay our mortgage and assorted other bills). Fortunately they've since lowered the number of lay-offs, and he will not lose his job (or so they say).
