Ramblings

This summer I'm going to be working afternoons for four weeks at a summer camp called Clouds Hill Farm. I will be teaching "Imaginetime" to four groups of kids aged 5-10. Claire will come with me too. That is the ideal teaching job!!! I get to interact with kids while having my daughter at my side or on my back in this case!

In church last Sunday, Claire sang or spoke up everytime the "Aleluia" chorus came around. It was very cute and people commented on it afterwards. She produced the short "a" vowel sound almost parellel to the sound in "Aleluia." My mom thinks she'll sing along with her too on the rare occasions she sings to my daughter. Perhaps her speech development has begun.

Today we have her 4 month appointment. She'll be 4 months tomorrow. I haven't heard her really babble yet, but her vocalizations are becoming more forceful, throaty and louder each day. She has really tuned into our cats. Instead of only getting excited with her body, she starts making monosyllabic sounds, resembling "Yeah."

Tomorrow my husband Brian and I are going out on a date, although we haven't found a family babysitter yet. I think we should do an afternoon date cuz she gets very fussy in the evenings as the daylight disappears!

About Me

Name: Sarah

Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States

I was a French teacher for four years, a life-long dream achieved. Now, I'm taking a serious break to raise a family. I go to a United Methodist Church regularly with my husband, daughter and son. For my future ideal job, I'd love to travel the world eating in great restaurants and write food reviews!!! Someday I'd like to live on the Oregon Coast and be a translator for French tourists! However, in the meantime I'm earning a substantial income with Jewels by Park Lane, subbing & Shaklee!
