I love clean floors

Steve and I bought a vacuum from Costco about three years ago. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it did the job. Lately, our carpet has been looking dirty and worn and it is only two years old. I noticed that the vacuum wasn't sucking as well as it use to. Steve researched vacuums and we decided on the Eureka. So, we took our old one back to Costco (got to love Costco, they take everything back) and bought the new one from Best Buy. I just vacuumed the carpets and they look brand new! It is amazing what a good vacuum can do! Isn't it funny what we get excited about now, compared to 10 years ago?

On a separate note I started college courses this week at Sonoma State University. In order to clear my California Teaching Credential I have to take around 12 more credits. SSU is about an hour away, but what's nice is most of the work is online and I only have to go it one Saturday a month. Today was my first day. The work shouldn't be too bad. It was hard to leave my little guy, all day, but Steve did a great job with him.

Interesting Baby facts

I get a weekly update from babycenter.com and this week it had some interesting things to say.

--The good news is that your baby's drool coats toys and other objects with disease-preventing proteins. That's fortunate — since she'll continue to explore anything she can get her hands on.

--Whether your baby is a night owl or a morning lark, a long sleeper or short sleeper, she'll probably stay that way throughout childhood.

--Can you spoil a baby? Answer, No and once he understands that you take his cries seriously, he'll be less likely to cry for no reason. In the long run, responding quickly to your baby's needs will make him less clingy and demanding, not more.

Drum Roll Please...

Carson slept through the night last night!!! He went to bed a 9:30 and slept until 6:00. How great is that? Here is a random picture I took before bedtime last night. Steve's parents gave us photoshop for Christmas. I haven't really had time to try it out, but wanted to do something to spruce up this picture. I've learned that photoshop is really cool!
