Welcome 2007

It's a new year and time for a fresh start. I'm looking forward to 2007, although I don't really know how it can top last year since it brought the birth of my son. But, I welcome another great year. Who know's, this year could bring the birth of Cohen's sister.....

I don't know that it's a resolution but I do vow to eat healthier this year. I want to feel healthier and I want to fit into my clothes again. I have plenty more goals for 2007. I've been praying for some big things this year. I'll let you know what God delivers. I might need to start praying that God will help us take Cohen's pacifier away. I wasn't so worried at one point; it seemed he only wanted his paci when he was sleepy. Lately, he crawls around and finds one and puts it in his mouth and won't let you take it from him. I thought I outsmarted him on the way home today. He usually gets his paci and his dog everyday after school and he sleeps the whole way home. Today, I tried to start weaning him from the paci so I didn't give it to him on the way home. Instead of going straight to sleep, he sat in the back talking. I thought he would talk a while since he didn't have the paci, but I expected him to fall asleep eventually. Sure enough, things got quiet and I thought he had fallen asleep easier than I had even expected. Wrong! I looked at him in the mirror to check on him and he had found a paci somewhere back there and put it in his mouth. That's why he got quiet. He had his paci, he got his dog and he turned his head to the side and promptly went to sleep. I guess next time I withhold the paci, I'll have to check for spares!
