First Day of blogging/Testing Patience

This is my first day attempting to blog. Tyler's previous daycare provider has a blog and I check it everyday. I enjoy reading about her family. I thought it would be a neat way to post what is happening in our family. I can tell you that we are a boring family nothing too exciting happens here.

First, I would like to share a little about my family. My husband Dan is a project manager at Midwest Glass in Brookings, SD. He has been there for almost 4 years. As for me (Jenn) I am still a student, you would think I would be done now. I am trying to get done. I am currently a senior at Dakota State University in Madison, SD. I am majoring in K-8 Elementary Education. I am currently waiting to take my content exam in March, so I can student teach in the fall. I have this semester off so I thought I would try and get a job to help us out a little bit and I was successfull in finding one. I will be working at Children's First Step Learning Center in Brookings, SD as a head teacher. The best thing about it is that Tyler gets to go with me, so that will be nice. Its a daycare that has infant to school age kids. I am looking forward to starting my new job. My first day is tomorrow (Wednesday). Its a training day then I will start on Monday full time. Now, we are on to our son Tyler, he is almost 16 months old and a very busy boy. He never likes to slow down. He is always on the go. He is growing so fast and I enjoy every minute even though we have our tough times.

Currently I have been home with Tyler and he is really testing my patience. I think he is going into his terrible two's early. Well, today he thought it would be funny to keeping doing something that his mom has already said no too. What he does is he goes behind our recliner where he can get to the coffee table and an outlet. Dan and I keep telling him NO, you don't belong back there. Well, Tyler is having a hard time understanding the word NO. Today, I about had it. I kept telling him no and pulled him out behind the chair and said no, well what does he do he goes right back there, but he does it slowly and then looks around the chair to see if I notice him. Then when I pulled him out for the fifth time I put him in the middle of the room and said no, you are not suppose to be back there. That was the end because he just started screaming and went to his stomach and started kicking his legs. He was acting like the world was ending. After he was done with his crying he thought it was time for a nap. Tyler has been really good about getting his blanket and going to the fridge to get a bootle and then to his room for his nap. All I have to say is "nap time." Tyler has came a long ways from fighting me to go to sleep to now he is mostly doing everything on his own. He still doesn't sleep through the night :(

He is getting better. Well, This all I have for now. I will try and post everyday. I was going to try and write a journal this year so then Tyler can read it when he gets older, but I thought this would be better. I will try and post some pictures when I figure out how to do it.

This is Tyler when he turned 1. I will be putting a current one up soon!
