Okay ... so it has been months and months since I last posted! I'm not even sure if anybody looks on here, but I have decided that it is time to resume blogging. Lots has changed here in the Baratie house since I have last posted. Needless to say, life has DEFINITELY changed, but it has changed in such a wonderful way! Jenna has completely embraced her role as a "big sis" and let me just say, she is a FANTASTIC big sister! ... and Rocco is completely in love with her! Seeing the way that his little eyes light up when he sees her is completely amazing! ... and she is such a big help!
Life is once again about to change in our household ... only one more week of summer vacation
:( Jenna will be in the 5th grade this year, so hard to believe! ... and Rocco will be going to the sitter's house everyday while mommy and daddy go to work. I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to manage leaving him! I honestly think that it is going to be harder to leave him now than it was when I went back to work after maternity leave ... only b/c I knew that I only had to go back for 4 weeks and then it would be summer vacation. I'm not sure who it will be more difficult for ... me or Rocco! He has become very attached to me ... he will still go to other people, but he won't take his eyes off of me. I have to be honest, it is kinda cute ... but I worry about how he is going to take this huge adjustment. The part of me that works with preschoolers knows that him going to a sitter and being around other kids will be a great advantage for him ... it is just going to be so hard to leave his sweet little face everyday! It will be nice to get into a routine again ... although I must say that I am lovin' our summer routine! My little man is such a GREAT sleeper ... somedays he lets his mama sleep in until 8:30 or 9:00 ... and he is in bed everynight by 8pm! Summer break has been fantastic! Erik will say ... so, what are your plans for tomorrow ... to which my response is usually "oh, just playing ... maybe we will take a walk or go to the park or zoo, but nothing major!" It is GREAT!
Getting into a routine will be a good thing ... but the start of the school year always brings with it lots to do and lots of busy weekends! Jenna is still doing competition gymnastics, but we still have a few more months until her meet season starts. And of course, Autumn brings with it football ... Buckeye Football and Steelers Football ... and High School Football! Domenic will be a Freshman this year (hard to believe!) and he is playing football, so we are hoping to make it to most of his games. And let's not forget the ever-so-popular Fantasy Football! ... I can already envision what my Sundays are going to look like ... Erik sitting on the couch, remote in one hand while using his other hand to hit the "refresh" button on the laptop ... oh, I can hardly wait! :) Hopefully he'll win big this year!
Stay tuned for more ...
