New Job vs Daycare Wrestling

Hey All,

So, here is my monthly post about what is happening in the life of the Kniessel's.

Nothing :)  Just kidding.. I have 2 dogs and a 17 month old, my life doesn't stop. 

I am changing jobs?!?!  I was offered a new position within Fairview in their Home Care and Hospice department.  This was not an easy decision.  I LOVE my job and everyone I work with, but I am not longer challenged and I don't see much room for growth.  So I accepted the new job.  I can't help but wonder though was it the right move?  Will I regret it in one, two or six months?  Will I be challenged?  Will I like my new co-workers????  The questions are never ending.  I guess only time will tell and I will make the best of it. 

Now onto the tiny human front.  She is never ending!!!  How do people have kids so close together in age, there is no way I could have a new baby right now!  She is starting to talk, she said "momma" to my face last week :)  She continues to say "up" and "what's that".  The new word are "stop".  She has been having so issues with a daycare boy named, Landon.  He is 2 years old and thinks he is the king of daycare... Abby feels otherwise.  He has bitten her twice now, and how does my daughter react?  She tackles and wrestles him WWE style according to my daycare provider, Connie.  Yep, that's my daughter, I guess I have to love her!

Well, that is enough about my life for a few weeks.  I will keep you posted on the Abby vs Landon front.

Until then,

Steph K
