Alyssa and I started our classes. She had Analysis of Music, Midi for Musicians (which is about electronic composition), Physics of Sound and Music, Composition I. I have Greek and Roman Epics, Humanities, and Latin 101. For my 3 classes I have 14 books to read. Yikes! It's really fun though; we're both enjoying it immensely and our schedule is really nice. The only conflict is Monday and Wednesday from 10am to 11am and Ethan watches Odin then, and Fridays from noon to 2pm and Ann and Emily watch him then.
Odin has been learning lots of new words. He's good at telling you what he wants. He's also got habits, like pointing to the kitchen light for you to turn it on to tell you he wants food, or getting his shoes so you can put them on him, or finding the keys he hid when you ask for them (yes, he can do this!).
We finally got our money (half of it anyway) so we each got new shoes (much needed), and we're going out to get Odin's new crib soon and a training potty to go with the book he picked out about learning. Speaking of crib, he's been waking up early lately and we think it's because his pack-and-play is too small to sleep in because he likes to thrash around a lot. Also, the mattress isn't very comfortable. So we got him a toddler mattress and a crib that transforms into different beds as he grows amd we get to pick it up as soon as they call us to see how he likes it. We can't wait. The potty training didn't do so well because he didn't have a potty to train on. But when we get it, we'll get the training pants again and read him the book so he can learn how to do it.
It's nice to have all the outstanding bills payed and now we have some money for emergencies. We're all relaxing into our new schedule and workloads, and it's finally starting to calm down.
I'd write more but I have to read 100 pages of the Epic of Gilgamesh in the next half-hour so I'm prepared for class....
