The update:

Well since the last time I wrote, I have finally been given a job as an art teacher in a junior high. I'll be teaching 7th, 8th and 9th graders. I know the question in your head is why anyone would trust me with a class of middle schoolers, but I tell you it's true! Anyway, for the summer I have been working as a kindergarten teacher at the same daycare where my son goes. I don't love it but it fills the time and pays the bills until I start teaching again. In fact I've decided that kindergarteners are the best manipulators in the world and have the devil in them. OK it's not all bad, but I have been shown that my choice in life for not teaching elementary was indeed a good decision.

Kai is 21 mos old now, and such a chatter box. He actually talks more than any other kid in his class, including the two year olds. I wonder where he gets that! haha . Anyway, he will copy ANYTHING you say, and I mean anything. I really have to watch my mouth now... anyway. He's a handful but growing quickly. He is using full sentences now and most people can actually understand him! Quite amazing. He's also learned how to climb out of his crib, so we finally upgraded him to a toddler bed. I think he hates it, but since we lock him in his room, ... well yeah anyway, the kid is smart!

So Ammon, well he's still working at the prison, I hate it, he hates it, so we are keeping our eyes and ears open for some job changes in the future.

Well other than that we are doing great and looking forward to the terrible 2's and potty training. Anyone with helpful hints on potty training a boy will be my new best friend!
