Inspiration Everywhere Everyday

We moved to Victoria for my school. M quit his job in PA so the family could stay together. We have been blessed in Victoria. We found our apartment here before we even left PA, found a fabulous daycare for Sana within the first 10 days after we arrived in Vic. It took Sana about two weeks to adjust into her daycare life and she is really enjoying it now.

This is one month and half after the move. M is working now and is planning for a serious business seriously. M is also running for the director of the student society on his campus. Please remember that he is doing all this besides going to school full-time. I guess a busy schedule like this helps both of us. I do not complain about boring chores especially the dish-washing part, he also does not "forget" doing housework.

Sana is doing well. She sings, she dances, she talks. She is a brave person when it comes to communication (because not too many people understand what she talks about yet she keeps going. :)). But I do have a confession to make. We are turning Sana to TV when I know it is not necessarily a good thing to do. I guess this time I just took the easier path. I might allow this to continue till the moment my heart cannot handle the guilt anymore.

Sana is showing her strong opinions, which many parents would refer to as Terrible Two symptoms. I personally do not agree with this term. At the same time, I genuinely respect her as a little person, like always. So she looks OK, not particularly terrible. And to be honest, I do get frustrated sometimes and get right on the edge. This later on turns out to be the moment for me to mentally grow as a person. Like I always say, watching children grow humbles us or at least humbles me. I do not think that I am teaching her. I believe that she is teaching me, and luckily I sometimes do think so I teach her what she teaches me. Parent-child relationship is reciprocal.

I still need to work hard on my paper. School now does not seem to be as inspiring as it used to be. I found that inspirations are daily occurrences and not exclusive to school. More later.
