A Week Of Change
This is a week of getting into a new routine. Amy started class on Tuesday and is working on getting into a new routine. I am too as I am getting up earlier as well so that I can feed and/or scoop up Jacob and get him in his car seat while mom is getting herself ready to leave. The snow on the first day certainly didn't help make adjusting to the new routine run smoothly. Between the weather and unexpected traffic, Amy was a little late for her first day of school which starts at 8 am... There should have been enough time, but adjustments have been made so that she is right on time in the future.
I think Amy did pretty well being away from her son for an extended period of time. The first day of class was the longest Amy has been separated from Jacob. If you ask her, I am sure she will tell you that it was one of the longest days of her life. The day got even longer when some other rather big issues surfaced pertaining to her schooling. Initial thoughts were that graduation would need to be moved and our carefully thought out plan would go to wayside. We are still working through some issues, but feel that postponement of graduation may not need to happen. More later once the issue(s) is/are resolved...
Jacob hasn't been sleeping quite through the night like he had been for a few weeks. There has been some increased fussiness of which we believe could be related to teething. No, he doesn't have any teeth and his gums aren't red, yet. Another thought is that he is starting to eat more and just plain 'ol may be getting hungry. Of course, it could be attributed to the apron strings being stretched and not having him mom at his side 24/7. Obviously, his world has turned upside down in his eyes. He's probably thinking, why am I going shopping and out to lunch with Grandma and Great Aunt Bessie? I'm sure this is why he is definitely checking/watching his mom and dad a lot more often and not wanting to take his eyes off of us.
The first day of class could have definitely gone better, but it could be a lot worse too. We will just continue adjusting as we go along...
