Back to School


Last week it was back to school time. Not for me, but for both Mommy and Daddy.

Daddy went back to college for his fall classes. It was so nice to have him home after work for a whole month. His schedule is a little nicer this semester. He only has to go to school two nights a week instead of 4 nights, which was his normal schedule.

Mommy is also back to school. She is teaching in Livonia again. It is not the same school as last year, but still in the same school district. She is working two days a week, and then on the opposite nights that Daddy goes to school, Mommy is taking college classes. She has to take them so she can renew her teaching license. She is taking Spanish classes so she is always talking to me in Spanish, which also works well since our neighbor is from Peru and only speaks Spanish.

For me, it is back to Mr. Steve and Mrs. Cindy's. They watch me when Mommy and Daddy are working. I also get to play with Hannah, Gideon, and Noah while I am there. They are Mr. Steve and Mrs. Cindy's three children. They are all in school (high school or middle school), but we play when they get home. They are a lot of fun. They are always making me laugh. Their whole family are big sports fans so sometimes I get to go to games or practices and Mommy picks me up there.


Hey Mrs. Cindy............."Who's your Tiger".

Last year when Mr. Steve would get home from work, we would sit on the porch swing and rock back and forth until Mommy or Daddy came to pick me up. I am hoping that if the weather is nice that we can do that again.

I have also found a different form of communication. It is called sign language. My vocabulary is not that large yet, but I have the essentials down. I know the signs for "more", "hungry"(which Mommy and Daddy changed to make it a little easier for me, I just tap on my tummy), I used to do "all done," then I forgot, but now I am doing it again. And I can also do "yes", although it looks very much like I am waving "bye--bye". But hey, I get the point across.
