11 Months Down...Even More to Go?

Well today marks eleven months in Chicago.  Next month marks one year in Chicago for those of you who couldn't do to math.   Anyway Chicago is in the running to be the city that Mark and I have lived in the longest.  We will either be moving at the end of August or the end of September into hopefully a larger rental house.  Although I've become quite fond of our neighbors in our current neighborhood and will be sad to leave them...especially the kindergarten aged boy who lives across the street and now comes over daily to ask if Isaiah can come outside to play. 

This whole preschool thing has been a huge deciding factor on which suburbs we are considering.  I really can't believe that Isaiah starts preschool in 6 months.  The school district that we are currently considering has an amazing preschool campus with awesome speech assistance for Isaiah as well as having OT's on their staff as well.  The school offers busing as well for the preschoolers, to which my immediate thought was 'Are you crazy?!?'  I'm not going to put my three year old on a bus wondering where Mommy is and where he is going.  No matter where we live I'm planning on driving him to and from school.  It looks like he will have school Monday-Thursday and every other Friday for 2 1/2 hours.  I'm not sure if I'm ready for this.  I do have to give lots of credit for the poor lady whoever she is who answered the phone today and sat through my millions of questions regarding curriculum and speech services offered etc.  Anyway I can't believe that I'm about to be a parent of a preschooler soon. 

In other news Noah who turns 10 months old (really 10 months!?!?!?!?!!) tomorrow is trying so hard to walk!  He will take a step or two and then fall down.  It won't be long!  I will be excited when this biting stage goes away.  I've never had a "biter" before and I don't much care for it!  My Mom cracked me up when she said that Noah needed to come with a warning label.  She was right...it should read CAUTION...will bite, scratch, claw, or pull hair without warning....interact with caution.  All kidding aside these boys are the biggest blessing in our lives and I can't imagine our lives without them.   Children really do bind a family and even though parenting is the hardest job in the world it truly is the BEST JOB in the world.
