I have been keeping pretty busy. I had a lot of things to write about, but I’ve been trying to catch up with bookmarks and now I’ve forgotten about them.
I started the spring semester today. I went to my first class, and I got lost (as usual), but I didn’t have any anxiety at all. That was really strange for me. I normally get butterflies in my stomach and stuff when I go back to school. I was just glad to get out of the house, I think. I really do enjoy being a student, I’m just not fond of being around a bunch of people… but today, it didn’t really bother me.
My depression hasn’t come back either. I’m kind of waiting for it to, honestly (hoping that it doesn’t though, of course). But I’ve been feeling good. I’m grateful for that. I think it helps that it’s been warmer than usual here for January. I took the kids to the park for the first time in a long time, and Cannon really loved it! I made small talk with another mom there. I don’t normally do that stuff either.
I’m really desperate to make a new friend (in real life), but I haven’t managed to.
Jacob and I are back to our “regular” selves. We go through weird periods of fighting and then being completely in love with each other all over again. One thing I’ve learned about long-term relationships is that there is an “ebb and flow” kind of thing. There are lulls, there are peaks, there are low points. I think we just need to make sure the low points don’t outnumber the lulls and peaks.
Lorelei has two teeth popping through. She’s starting to have what sounds like conversations, or at least trying to “say” things to us. She loves to engage me and coo at me. She thinks Cannon is hilarious. Cannon tries to wrestle with her, poor girl! He plays too rough, but he’s a toddler and they enjoy doing that.
Cannon has been learning a bunch of new things, and he started saying please with the “p” sound at the beginning instead of the “b” sound like he used to. He’s also learned a bunch of body parts (FINALLY, we’d been working on them for ages!), and some more letters. He’s had a big language leap lately. I’m grateful for that, I thought he’d never start talking!
They are on two completely different schedules. Lorelei wakes up between 8 and 9am and goes to bed around 9 (but wakes up a lot). Cannon goes to bed between 11 and 12 (sometimes later, depending on naps) and gets up around 9:30 to 10.
I’m very tired, I think I’ll wrap this up.
