Look at what I can do!

I realize it has been a while since I last posted. We all have been very busy. Not to mention that a dream of mine to run my own business was very close to becoming a reality, as in it was going to be happening within a couple of months or so. We were all caught up in the whimsy of possibility, and we almost for got (or should I say I almost forgot) what was important.

All last week was spent in front of the computer. I was busy doing "research" for my business, making appointments to scout out possible locations and attending classes at Waukesha Tech. to learn what I need to do to make things happen. Meanwhile, Joseph had some developments of his own going on...I almost missed them!

For starters, I would leave him on the floor in his gym nearby while I was on the computer. I would turn back after a couple of minutes only to find him flipped over and facing a totally different direction. That's right. He regularly rolls over from back to tummy now, and I have only seen him do it once.

In addition, he is growing to be a very strong boy! "Ow!" is a word heard much more often around the Myers household these days, especially while Joseph is playing with mommy's hair. He has become so coordinated and strong that I wonder how he has managed not to pull it all out. He also has become like Bam Bam in that he loves to bang on things (including mommy's head and face).

He is very clever. When we put him in his bumbo on the table we make a point of leaving a couple of toys on his lap so that he is not tempted to grab non-toys. However, his favorite thing to play with is our basket full of bills. He loves to pull it, grab things out of it and dump it over. If the telephone or DS is on the table, those too become his favorite playthings. I tried to fool him by giving him my old cell phone to play with...the joke was on me. It was as if he knew and took no interest in it at all!

My dream job is still in the works, only it isn't going to happen yesterday. After some serious consideration we all decided that I should really slow down a bit. I have to admit that it is a relief to know that I can go back to focusing (at least for now) on what is really important: spending my time with my boy, watching him grow, and being grateful that we have this time together.
