Busy, But Not Really

I'd like to say I've been really busy. And in a way I have. But in a whole other way I haven't.

Much has happened. The school where I taught Kindergarten, and also loved all the staff and families at, closed on September 29th. It was a terrible, tragic event. I won't go into all the specifics because this is not the venue. But this means that I have been a "stay at home mom" since the closure. And I do mean stay at home. More like "you have to stay home because there is not enough money to go and do anything, so all you can do is sit and get bored at home".

Luckily Daniel does have a part time job, that as of late has actually been closer to full time, so we do have some income coming in. It's not much, but it is something, and anything helps. But that would be why I'm stuck at home.

I have been looking up things to do at home with Gideon to keep us both busy. There's only so many times a day I can go on a walk, and play the theme song from "How I Met Your Mother" for him to dance to.

By the way, I know I said he had one tooth, he actually got four teeth in two weeks. And now, after careful investigation, I can feel some more teeth coming in. But of course my son is always different so the teeth are not the expected. I looked up this chart:



As you can see my son should have not only his central incisors, which he does, but also his lateral incisors. He should also have his canines and first molars coming in. So, instead of having his lateral incisors coming in,  which is what SHOULD be coming in, the teeth I felt coming in are definitely the first molars on the top.

Now I need to go tend to my four tooth wonder.
