So the first question everyone has asked me is "how is life with two babies?" My official answer is that living with two babies isn't that bad but living with a toddler is damn hard work. For example, even though I spent most of yesterday pulling Rhianna off the (chair/table/bookshelf/third shelf of pantry), I still wasn't prepared to find her on half-way on the kitchen counter this morning. Yep, she taught herself how to pull the drawers out and use them as stairs. I'm not sure much can prepare you for the reality that you're sweet little baby is no longer a baby but an independent -- often defiant -- person. About a week ago she said Mama for the first time (at least the first time she actually meant me when she said it) and when I asked her to say it again, she looked me straight in the eye, shook her head back and forth and in the sweetest little 16 month old voice said "no." Little brat. Nonetheless, her ridiculously cute moments do make up for the snotty times. Good thing toddlers come in cute packages.

In more nitty-gritty news, we've found a new daycare and both kids will start part-time the middle of this month and more come December. I am going back part-time mid-month then back to my 32hour/week schedule in December. I got the promotion at work I applied for which means I'm the lead designer for the new university magazine which is tentatively slated to be published in March.
