Carolina Pediatric Therapy

Okay, so I totally love my job. I have worked for Carolina Pediatric Therapy since January 2006. My official job title is "Early Childhood Intervention Specialist." In simple terms, I help children birth to three years old get back on their developmental goals. I have worked with children who are autistic, have downs syndrome, have cerebral palsy, speech delays, fine and gross motor delays, behavioral issues and much more. A lot of my job includes parent education as well. Our company itself specializes in Pediatric Speech, Physical, Occupational Therapy and Early Intervention. Not to brag, but my job is awesome! :)

I went to a monthly meeting last night for Carolina Peds. I have to have so many training hours per year to keep my certification, so I had to go. Bennett and I packed up and headed to Asheville for a two hour meeting. Not to brag, but my son was awesome! He was quiet, played well, and ate quietly. (I was at the mommy table in the back with three other moms and all together 6 kiddos. At one time during the meeting, all three of us were nursing our kids...) Okay, back to the meeting...The owner of Carolina Peds, Summer, was giving us some statistics on our company. Here's the awesome part...she told us that per month we have almost 2000 visits. That means, every month, children in our area are receiving services 2000 times per month. That doesn't mean 2000 kids because all children are seen more than once per month, but still! Isn't that awesome! It just touched my heart to know that we are making such a difference in the lives of families in our area!

Check us out!

Okay, so I haven't blogged in a while and to be honest, there is nothing really to talk about.

I mean, I need a new baby sitter, but that is a whole ordeal in itself that I must admit I don't want to talk about!

Stan the man, my hubby, has reverted to a child like state wanting to play video games all day. (He didn't work yesterday, so he played PS2 for FOUR hours...That must be a man thing.) Tonight he is going to an old college buddy's house to play after work, some stupid game with guns and fighting. They have been talking crap back and forth for nearly two weeks about this game...Geez...Men! ;)

Bennett has decided to get sick out of nowhere. We pulled an all nighter together. (I must admit, it's hard getting up in the middle of the night when your little one is usually sleeping 11 hours a night!) He did turn 6 months old this week...meaning that Amy needs to do his pictures for me again! Please Amy...PLEASE...My photography guru who happens to be a great friend! My momma and sister sent Bennett a Happy Half Year Birthday present...Thanks! New bath toys and summer clothes! (Pictures to follow soon!)

Just a side note...Way to go Nicolas, Claudia's son...so glad you are pooping in the potty! :) (The things us moms talk about.)

Okay...so that's it...That's all I've got folks! :)

Time to show off Bennett

I love being a mom. Creating my son was the best thing I have ever done! My husband and I are so blessed to have such a calm natured, easily pleased, happy all the time baby boy.

Bennett was born on October 6th, 2008 after 21 hours of labor. He came out perfect and peeing!

What an amazing experience for Stanley and I to see and hear our first born son.

I'm telling you, he's perfect! :)

Bennett is now six months old, well on Monday he will be six months old. He has two teeth, is rolling over, sitting up (occassionally), and trying to crawl. He is still an easy baby...cries when he's hungry and sleeps nearly 15 hours a day...11 at night! :)

I never knew how much love a mother could have for their child. I thought I loved my husband a lot...Man, was I joking myself! I now appreciate my mother more than ever. I miss her...
