1. I wonder if there exists anywhere on the planet a job where everyone is nice to everyone. Like where no one talks behind anyone else's back. I would like to work there.
2. There's a huge push in the community to support the Lamar University football team. The campaign is called, "GET YOUR RED ON!" Well, it's Friday here at the Facilities Department and there might be one or two employees who aren't wearing red. I'm wearing the only red shirt I own - a Ruby Valley Mustangs shirt I stole from my brother on my last visit home. We all look like a bunch of Target employees.
3. Going along with the Get Your Red On campaign, there's also an on-campus competition with the award going to the department who shows the most spirit. Today the Facilities Department is going to take a picture that includes the mascot, a golf cart, and driving around on the football field. I don't really have specifics, but I'm hoping to be the one nominated to drive the golf cart.
4. I cornered the orange work cat today and petted him until he started to like it. Then I got in trouble because I walked into the office and he walked in right after me like he owned the place. And naturally, I couldn't catch him to put him back out.
5. My very favorite part of any day is Carolyn's bath time. She's starting to understand splashing and the look on her face is priceless.
6. And speaking of Carolyn, she still categorically refuses to participate in tummy time. She's fine for 30 seconds where she pushes herself up really well. Then she gets mad and starts to flail. After that, there's no calming her down or convincing her to try to hold her head up again. We've tried laying next to her, putting a toy for her to look at, etc. Nothing works.
7. I wonder if there will ever be a time again where I don't get to work and find some previously unnoticed spit-up on my shirt.
8. I have a lot of friends who profess not to believe in God or in a life after this one. It's amazing to me how they change their tune when they lose someone they love. Of course, when that happens, they suddenly believe in some type of after-life, but they're really mad at God.
9. I love to pick Carolyn up from the babysitter's because she's got four kids of her own who are the cutest kids on the planet. My very favorite is her soon-to-be five-year-old son. He used to be in my class at church. I wish he still was. Wednesday as I was pulling out of the driveway, he shouted, "Ok! Bye bye! See you later! I'll kiss you someday!"
10. Looks like I'm not even going to get an interview at the chiropractic office. The other job I was interested in has also been filled. In talking to other massage therapists, it seems that the recession has finally hit that industry here in southeast Texas. No one is busy.

Some info about Tummy Time for Babies. It's an Australian site (as I am Australian), but it seems to have some helpful suggestions.
It might be worth saying that even if she does this, she might never crawl. Neither I nor my sister did. We both went from nothing to bum shuffling, to walking. No crawling. And if she does this she will still be wonderful.
Also, can I suggest LUSH Baby baff bombs? I gave some to my friend when she had her baby, and she swears by them. All her kids have really sensitive skin, and they can use them without getting a reaction.
Have a good day!
Owen was the same way about Tummy Time. He hated it and it really stressed me out because all I could think about was how babies are SUPPOSED to have so many minutes of Tummy Time a day, and he wasn't even coming close to that! Then I gave up and realized that if I kept trying to force it on him, he would hate it even more. Eventually he learned to like it, and he had no developmental problems whatsoever from his first couple of months without it. He hit every milestone as he should.
Picking C up at the babysitter's will be even better when she is old enough to yell "Mom!" and run into your arms with a huge hug!
haha...Cole just loves you!!
