I'm getting Gregory started on the history as soon as possible.

Before I sat down here at the computer, I had him on the couch and I was changing his diaper (OMG...it was bad) and he was very content after that, so I left him laying on the couch. He's watching The History Channel (since I was watching it) and he's actually looking at the screen and not fussing...hehe...I will make him book smart, I tell you! There will be no computer nerd besides his dad...he will be like me! I'm gonna get him to read at an early age and teach him to love books and value the liberal arts!

But yeah...I've got a doctor's appointment today with my OB/GYN. It was supposed to be next week, but I'll be in Seattle next week, so that's not going to work. I'm not exactly looking forward to my appointment, but eh...as stated a bajillion times before, I like my doctor, so I don't mind going. I'm assuming we'll talk about birth control and all that at this appointment and I can't take birth control (as they thought I had a stroke - after a bunch of tests - turns out I just had a bad migraine they could track going through my brain as it made these stroke-like symptoms), so I'm not sure what he'll suggest. I suppose I could get an IUD, but I am not so keen on that idea. I think I'll just go with what I was doing before...nothing...lol. It proved successful for at least 6 years, so I think I'll take my chances...and if it happens again, little Gregory will have a sibling! BUT, ya know, abstinence is the best protection and I can say I've been practicing that for quite some time now...lol

OKAY, too much information for all y'all.

After that, going to stop by my work and see if Gregory's little foot prints are enough information for the corporate office to add him onto my insurance. I think it should be as I sure as hell didn't go steal some little baby's footprints to forge this document.

After that...going to go to Brian's parent's house for dinner. I hope we're not going to stay long as Gregory's going to be out ALL DAY and I don't feel like keeping him out any longer than he has to be.

I've got to do laundry and clean-up the house before I leave on Friday. I need to pack the suitcase still...I'll have to do that today or tomorrow as Thursday, I'm dropping Gregory off at his grandparent's house (crossing my fingers that they DO NOT DRINK and Gregory sleeps the whole time) and going to a friend's party. I'm not staying long as I want to get to the airport at about 4:30am on Friday to make sure I get enough time to get through security with all the extra precautions and enough time to calm Gregory before we get on the plane...her party starts at 7:00pm and I'm gonna carpool with Melissa since Brian is working until 10:00pm...I'll just have him take my car to work so he can pick up Gregory...OR, I'll just have his mom come over here and watch him. I'll have to talk to Brian about it.

Anyway, Gregory's fussing, so I must go...

ha ha.. you should get him to watch jepordy too!! Is that show still on?

What you do is read to him, and then when he learns to read, leave a LOT of books around the house.... (with pictures of course)... slowly stop reading to him... and then if he's interested he'll continue on his own. (At least it makes sense to me that he would)

Although, when I was younger I always got annoyed because hearing books read out loud was way slower than reading them myself. :P

Or you could use the reverse psychology method. "DO NOT READ!" and then he might. :P

my mom got me started on books early. She turned it into a prize once I started potty training: every night I went through the whole night without wetting the bed, I'd get a book. Funny enough I never wet the bed. :P

Yay! you get to leave for Seatle soon! XD

Wow, I did a TERRIBLE job on your friend test. I guess I don't know you very well. ;)
