Things....

I've been thinking about starting my own blog and dedicating this one for Xander related updates only. I think separating myself from things Xander is up to will make it easier for me to keep things updated. And keeping things updated and myself organized is something that needs to be done now...right now.

So, what is Xander up to you ask? Lot's of stuff!!

I found him a new daycare in Ann Arbor. It's a bigger place with more kids of different ages. He seems to tolerate it,and I've noticed he's becoming interested in other things besides cars and trains, but still isn't super excited about going. It has me thinking that he would do better with a babysitter or a nanny. I've found there's always one person at the daycare centers who is wonderful and everyone else just seems to be passing the time. So wish me luck in finding someone who is better suited to give Xander a happy place to be.

Speaking of becoming interested in new things, he is now into bug catching! I'm excited because for a long time he was afraid of bugs. I don't know where he got that from, but at any rate it's cute to see him searching for ants, beetles, butterflies and the elusive spider. Right now his bug catching box is on the balcony filled with ants and a fly.....and of course a piece of cheese bread for them to eat. Oh! and a dried up worm :( It dried up because he didn't want to let it go...sad...

Maybe this new found need for animal companionship stems from the fact that Heartbreaker doesn't live with us anymore. I decided to take her to stay with Mike a few weeks ago. Xander wasn't vicious with her, but just couldn't stop treating her like a 60lb pitbull.

He is still slightly obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine. He constantly wants to "buy thomas babies at the walmart store". When he's with me that doesn't happen. I can't speak for Tony's resistence to his giant brown eyes and pitiful pleas :P

We have plans to go to the lake tomorrow. He's been asking to go for sometime, but it's been unseasonably cool here. Tomorrow it's suppose to reach 80, so we're taking the chance and heading out to the lake.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but hopefully if I update this more I won't forget the little cute things he does:)
