We have had a really mild winter this year. It almost scares me a little bit. I am determined to watch less T.V and have Ashton was less of it, so because we have had mild evenings, we have been going outside and playing. He loves playing outside.

For Christmas, Ashton received some sidewalk chalk and because our backyard is our drive way with an alley way, we have TONS of blacktop to draw on. Ashton kept telling me what he drew on the pavement…a monster….”A” Ashton, C “Claire”, “its blue”, “stars” etc. He puts meaning to everything that he draws even if it doesn’t look like something. He also knows some of his letters. I think that he is super smart, but I know that eventually, once he is in school that others will catch up to him and maybe he will slow down and learn all of these things now and then stop. Who knows, but right now I do know that Ashton is sponging up everything and is learning so much day by day.

This picture of is Ashton slashing the letters that I call out. I would say Ashton, show mommy the letter G. He would run over to it and slash it with the chalk. He is so proud of himself and I am so proud of him. The picture starts are 1/125, ISO 100 and F-Stop 2.2.

Monday is a rest day in the program, like I mentioned before. I have not eaten any Oreos, however, I have had cake and two mini sugar cookies over the last two days… But in my defense, I didn’t eat all of the icing on the piece of cake and the sugar cookies were mini. I have also been eating smoothies in the morning thanks to the recommendation of my sister-in-law for this small blender. I also have not bought the cafeteria food either and I am drinking waaay more water. I didn’t make it to the gym tonight and I wasn’t able to run outside because it was quite the crazy day at work. I got home late and I just didn’t make time. I am making time tomorrow even if I have to go to the gym at 9 like I did for the one week.
