Wow...has August been busy!! Where do we begin? Well, we began the month with a trip to the fair. Carter rode his first pony and carnival ride. We had a great time and Carter loved all the animals, especially the cows and pigs! Two days later Carter began sleeping in his "big boy" bed, something we really didn't think would happen this soon. His first night was on Aug. 8th and he's been sleeping soundly ever since. He loves it and even has a "big boy" bed at Grandma's house to sleep in. It's hard to believe though that he will never sleep in a crib again. We took his crib down today! We ended the month with a wonderful visit from Grandma and Papa Banton. They were here for a week and we loved every minute of it. It was a wonderful week spent with the Banton family. And now...mommy is back to work. I started my training last week for my new job as a Reading Recovery teacher at Old Mission Elementary. It will be a great opportunity for me. It's a three year committment because the district is training me through Oakland University. I will have a Reading Specialist endorsement at the end of the training. It is only part-time at this point but I may be able to add a Literacy coach position next fall. I am really excited about it. So, Summer is over...but we are all looking forward to Fall and Carter's 2nd birthday!
