goodbye February

CO was very sad when we transitioned to February from January. It was his first exposure to the months changing I guess since we just started focusing on 'calendar time' every morning this year. This time he remembered that when January was all done that we cleared the calendar for the new month. I warned him that it was the last day of February on the 28th and he wanted to jump into March right away. But we held off. He thought it was funny that night to say goodnight and see you next month that evening.
This morning we changed the calendar. We sang goodbye to February and Hello to March (a song I made up last month for the transition from January). Aunt Ruth said she heard him today singing goodbye to February while he was outside playing at one point. (cute)

I am trying to set myself into the routine of reading my Bible daily this year. I have set this goal other years and was not successful. This year I thought I'd follow a guide but at the same time keep track of what days I read and what I read on those days. I am happy to say that I improved in February from January as to not procrasinating and therefore missing a day forgetting to open my Bible as many days. In January I missed 10 days (I know that is terrible) but in February I only missed 7. Hopefully this is because I was better at making a point in my day to open my Bible rather than it was a shorter month. Looking at the dates, it seems that the time I miss reading usually lies on the weekend. So this is where I need to definately set my alarm earlier and just make sure I do it. Some mothers are up before thier kids and spend time in the word then. I have yet to make this transition. My son is 99% of the time awake before me. I am happy the mornings he doesn't wake me up until 7am. (the latest I think has been 7:15), the earliest...maybe around 4am  (ug)

one of the reasons is I seem to fight to be a night owl. I don't know why I choose this because long term is just is sucky as I am tired and less patient over all. And since it is late now...I need to head to bed...
