My back was so sore today that I sat on a heat pack all day during our workshop. The only comfortable position has been lying on the hard floor. Chase thinks it's funny, and of course, starts jumping all over me.
Chase's favorite books at the moment: Today I Will Fly by Mo Wililams (a gift from Stacy - thanks Stace!), and the I Can Draw book Nana got from Costco. Even though the drawings are so sophisticated, Chase loves looking at the colorful pictures in the drawing book. Nana, being an artist and all, is trying to train him early to get into drawing, since his daddy is not so much of a drawer. Chase wants to read both of these books all the time and will sit very quietly and intently as we read him the books.
Chase pooped in the bath tonight. After cleaning him and the bath up, I put him to bed early because my back couldn't take it any longer, and Chris wasn't home from work until late. Surprisingly, Chase slept through the night from 7:30 pm - 6:30 am! Wow!
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
