[blparent] the meaning of no

[Erin Rumer]

Jodie, I'm so happy for you and your place sounds perfect for a little one.
I could even see kahlan using the area under the counter as a baby fort to
play under.  This is such a fun and exciting age that your daughter's in and
it's so much fun to see them learning and exploring new things every single
day.  I can't believe how the time flies by.  Dawson is already nearly 23
months old and I'm rapidly planning his 2nd birthday party.  He is bursting
at the seams with vocabulary and getting good at swimming and throwing a
basketball and kicking a soccer ball.  We're entering a new phase in our
lives where Dawson is going to begin going to a German emersion preschool
twice a week for 5 hours each day and mommy's nerves are going crazy.  I
tour the school tomorrow which I know will help to relax me and the school
offers a free trial day where a child can go into the school for a few hours
while the parent stays on campus.  This is a nice way to introduce the child
to the environment and staff without throwing them in full force right off
the bat.

Anyways, thanks for the update on how things are going in your new place and
have a blast with that little pumpkin of yours.

Hugs,

Erin and Dawson

All good points, Erin. Thanks! We've moved into a bigger place now and we've
gotten rid of that monster TV and the stand that the TV was actually
responsible for breaking due to its size, so we don't have to worry about
that anymore. *smiles* We have a smaller TV and an entertainment center.
Kahlan has her own room now and she loves it! I thought she'd have a night
or two of adjustment, but she slept right through with no problems. She has
plenty of room to crawl now and I think Chris and I will have to think of
ways to distract her from pulling his mouse off the desk. it can't be
barricaded the way it's positioned at the moment. We're hoping once we get
new desks for both of us we can fix that situation, but for now we just keep
her away from it. I'm not as worried about the kitchen anymore because of
the way it's set up. The apartment is wheelchair accessible because it was
the only apartment that was available at the time, so the oven and stove are
separated, there are no cabinets under the sink and everything dangerous is
way out of her reach. We have plenty of storage space now, so all cleaning
supplies and other potential hazzards are either locked up or out of reach.
We're all very happy here!
