Update on deployment and Jesse

We are a little over 1 month into this deployment now. 39 days to be exact. Jesse has finally relized this isn't just a short time with daddy being gone. He's had his days that he's been real fussy and ticked off and spends the day screaming for his daddy, but Signing Time gets him to calm down. Once I put on his favorite Rachel, he stops screaming and starts signing and singing along with the Signing Time theme. Rachel is such a blessing in this house during this deployment. I think I would go crazy if it wasn't for Signing Time. I have tried everything to keep Jesse busy, but nothing works except Signing Time.

Jesse is doing great in school. He came home from school on Friday with the most adorable pumpkin hat that he made in school. I'm trying to plan his class Halloween party right now. If anyone has any good suggestions for a preschool Halloween party I would greatly appreciate it. How could I have thought it would be a good idea to volunteer as class mom?LOL I've got so much other stuff on my mind right now that I don't feel I can put 100% into being class mom. Oh well, I'll figure something out to make it great!

School update on Jesse

So Jesse has been in school now for a month. He's doing really well. I've already noticed a good improvement in him. He's also been playing with his friend Marissa a lot and is learning so much from her. Jesse has brought home some fingerpainting he's done and some coloring. The teachers absolutely loves him. They are working on getting him used to transitioning from activity to activity. I have also been sending Jesse to school with his Signing Time dvd's. We love Rachel and Signing Time and now his class does too. Here is a pic of Jesse and little friend Marissa.

Here is a pic of Rachel Coleman from Signing Time when we saw her a few months ago. Jesse was just in awe of her.

Well, that's about it to update on now.

Saying goodbye for a long time

So the navy took my husband away again. You would think I'd be used to it by now, but I'm not. Goodbyes are always hard especially when they are for 7 months.

Family Vacation

Here are the pics we got from our vacation to Florida to see Jesse's Grandpa Linney. We had a blast. It was to short though. Jesse misses his Grandpa so much.

Happy 3rd Birthday Jesse!!!!

My man is 3 today. I can't believe he's growing up so fast. I will update on how his birthday went in a day or 2. We are still trying to unpack in the new place.

Much needed update

So I've been missing in action lately. I have been so stressed out with the navy and the constant underway schedules. I just wish for once the navy would keep his ship in for at least a month.

Anyway, here's the update. Jesse is doing wonderful. He is still signing like crazy, but he's also talking so much more. His latest is oh yeah. I'm trying to teach him to say stupid navy, but so far he's not going for it. lol

We've been out and about a lot lately. We've been going to parks and the museums when the weather permits. Now everytime I grab my keys he says bye bye bye bye and waves at the dog. It's tricky trying to get out of the house just to check the mail.lol

Anyway, I guess that's about all for now. It's time to start Signing Time and relax for a while. Here are some updated pics of my sweet little guy.
