Grrr...

I hate school. I really, really, really do. Today, in my English class, we were going to watch a movie adaption of Hamlet. We KNOW the story of Hamlet, we read it (or atleast pretended we did) and have talked about it in class for the past 2 weeks. Yet he spends 27 minutes, YES... I timed him, talking about the movie and what's going to happen and how every scene is going to look, INSTEAD OF JUST TURNING ON THE MOVIE. I wanted to scream! I was about to raise my hand and say "Are we watching the movie tonight?" And then get this! For my other class, I have to write a paper SUPPORTING child labor. Yes, that's right, I'm supposed to be in favor of child labor and write a 6 page paper on why I support it and then go to class and debate in favor of it. Oh, joy!

It always amazed me at the entertainment children get from everyday objects that aren't really "toys." I looked down at Jo in her playard and had to take a picture of all the things that have accumulated in there that aren't toys yet I gave her because she was having too much fun to let go of them!
Let us see... she has a Tylenol bottle, a pair of glasses, a flashlight, a cup, baby wipes, a tube, and there was a water bottle (not pictured) in there too haha.




I put Jo's play "stage" in her playard and ofcourse she instantly pulled herself up on it. Having something in the middle of the playard gave her a sort of "bridge" and she would use it to move from one side of the playard to the other and go every which way and I was very impressed on how easily she was getting around. I still can't believe how big she's getting! Her standing up and walking around the playard is just one more sign of her growing up and it makes me sad!




And here is Jo standing up in her cute little blue outfit, I love this baby =)
