And Cat Makes Five

My little boy is talking! I can't believe it. I can proudly say that his first word was Mama, with Dada soon to follow. Dog came next, which he will use spontaneously when he sees (or hears) a dog. He will repeat truck, and as of this morning, he will also repeat cat. It is so neat to see him start to realize that he can repeat sounds that he hears! He will repeat words we say to him, sounds he hears in songs, and he even tried to repeat the sound of me knocking on a door! His world is opening up, and it is really fun to watch. What a neat realization it must be, to find that you can make the sounds that you hear around you - that you can talk. Hello, expressive language!

In chemistry news, it has been a busy week. I had a quiz, lecture exam, lab exam, homework problem set and two pre-lab question sets all due. Oh. My. God. I am realy glad that week is over. It was insane. But, I got my exams back yesterday, and I am pleased to report that I got an 88% (possibly 89% - I am questioning one of the problems...) on my lecture exam, and a 98% (hell yeah!) on my lab exam!! Awesome. Last night was a chemistry-fee evening (in part because I forgot my book bag in my husband's truck, and he was at work...) in celebration of the end of such a busy week. Today I begin again. I am not going to know what to do with all the free time I am going to have after this class is over!

Busily,
Jenny
