Monday Monday

Today we had some appointments and business to attend to before we could move on to more fun stuff. Caleb started his first day of full time daycare. Up until now he's been going on a drop in basis, but end of last month he had moved up the wait list enough to be offered a full time spot. Which is good and bad you see. Good because now when I get a job I don't have to worry about what I will do with Caleb. Good because he LOVES going to daycare and playing with his friends and gets so excited when we start walking down his hallway. But it also puts the pressure on to get hired somewhere, because if I don't have a job within 90 days he can lose his spot and I fall back to the bottom of the wait list again. Bad because I now have a full time daycare bill without a full time paycheck. It's a good thing though, he loves going and it worked out at a perfect time because this week and next we have several appointments and I have some trainings and events I cannot take Caleb to, so paying by the hour and hoping they had room for him could have been tricky.

This morning we had to drop Caleb off early so we could take Colin down to the Naval Hospital for another doctor appointment. We are having him evaluated for ADHD as we've seen it for a long time, along with his teachers, but now I fear it is holding him back academically and I want him on a level playing field to start his second grade year. This is an important year for his reading and literacy development and he must end the year on grade level. Lots of meetings and assessments with this wonderful doctor before she leaves the island and is likely not replaced. Of the joys of military medicine. After Colin's appointment we had some lunch and then took him to see the new Minions movie while Caleb was still at daycare. It worked perfectly because Caleb is a terror at the theater. No interest in TV or movies at all with that one!

Today wasn't a very exciting day but it was productive. Making plans for more exciting fun the rest of this week, hopefully the weather can cooperate. It's been raining almost all day every day so far. That is unusual for Guam, usually we get a good downpour a couple times a day and it moves on as fast as it comes in. The rain doesn't usually hang around long like it has been, but we are entering the so called rainy season again.
