What a great week I had. I only subbed 1 day which was a nice break. I greatly appreciate the extra sub hours that I have been getting, but I also love my afternoons at home with Zoe. I can't tell you all how much I love that I get to get up and go to work every morning and yet spend the afternoons with Zoe! I don't have any days lined up yet this week to sub, but that will probably change. I am going to make the most of my remaining afternoons at home because starting April I will be full time. I am taking the maternity leave of one of the high school English teachers. Not exactly my area, but she is a great teacher and I am sure she will leave me well prepared. Speaking of full time, I received GREAT news this week. I had planned on having a talk with the Principal about the opportunities for next year. Well, she came to me on Tuesday and asked what I wanted to do. I told her I wanted to be full time in the Middle School (thinking this was a slim chance). She told me she was 99% sure she can make that happen!!! She presented a few different possibilities, all of which may or may not happen depending on if teachers leave and if things are restructured. All of the options were positions I would be excited about. I am so excited that I have a job for next school year in a school that I love and in a position where I can use my degree!
Here are a few videos of what Zoe and I spend some of our time doing.
She definitely knows what "no" means and usually stops touching the object she is or doing whatever she is doing, but there are also times where she gets frustrated and just screams at us, I happen to catch one of those moments in the video below.

Zoe's new favorite games is making my hands clap. She grabs my hands and claps them together. I of course do most of the clapping motion, but she laughs every time we do this:)
