Well, it is the night before Lil E's emg, trying not to let my mind wander and just go with the flow when we get there. Spoke with Big d, who is away on business trip. It is funny how you know how things are going, but you choose to ignore it, but then when your own child brings it to your attention; then it is telling you a lot. When talking on the phone tonight I could notice a big change in the tone when big d was talking with Lil E and how he talked to me. The tone was all pleasant and happy, but when the conversation switched to me the tone changed completely almost to disgust or dislike. I have noticed it often, but it becomes a reality check when someone else points out that exact same thing and they ask me why I let someone talk to me like that. They are right; what kind of example am I setting for them and what is Lil E hearing and learning when I allow someone to talk to me in that negative tone? I guess I need to really think about it and lead/teach by example of what I allow to be said to me and how. It hasn't changed and has gone on for sometime; there is almost a hatred or disgust that I hear in the tone. Just wanted to release my thoughts on that one, it doesn't help having a conversation like that and then also try to stay composed for your little one.
On a lighter note I found the cutest fabric that was milled in Japan, for Lil E. I thought about making him a little couch pillow or a thinking pillow, since the material has such positive thoughts on it. Check it out, so cute!!
And life goes on.
Indy has grown so much, check out the post from awhile back. He loves to be right there, so here he is by the Easter baskets. 
Lil E woke up early Easter morn around 3 am, and kept asking is it time yet. He finally turned around with his head down at the end of the bed and went back to sleep until the dogs barked and woke him up. He bolted out of bed and headed down to find the hidden goodies. 
Another fun thing happened at work. One of my co-workers was helping the Easter Bunny early. She was placing plastic Easter Eggs close by my classroom, so when Lil E and I were walking in the morning to my class he would find eggs; this happened almost every single day. Most of the eggs had loose change in them, one had a dollar, and a few had some candy. How sweet and what a wonderful memory for him to have!
Went up to Crystal Cove in late October. We enjoyed a beautiful day. Wanted to find some sea glass, but there was none to be found. Lil E had fun in the ocean. 
I had to go to the book store to pick up some books on Spring and gardening for my class and Lil E had fun with his big sister as we were leaving. 
Greg's company had a big 10 year anniversary down south, so after work on Friday Lil E and I took the train down. Lil E was sooo.... excited. He doesn't remember going on the train when he was younger. It was a nice change for me, because I didn't have to drive.
He was a little nervous when the train was getting ready to start. I think he thought it might be little like a plane ride.
