Kids and books

I can't believe it is March already! Connor has a check-up on the 19th and he will be 6 months old. It just doesn't seem possible. Why is he growing up faster than Beau or Kyrsten did?  Is it because he is my last little one?  He is changing every day it seems. Right now he is very, very interested in the dog. If the dog is anywhere where Connor can see him everything else might as well not exist. He stares at the dog intensely and last night he was laughing and talking to him. The dog wasn't doing anything but laying on his pillow but Connor thought that was funny!


Speaking of funny things kids come up with.....Kyrsten came home yesterday and said she wanted a new life! She said that all she does is eat, sleep and work everyday. She said she only gets like a few minutes to watch television and that is it. I am not sure what kind of life she is supposed to have at seven years old and she didn't elaborate on that part of course, just that her life was boring. I don't know what she is going to do when she grows up and realizes that you only have to eat, sleep and work everyday when you are grown up too!

After my post yesterday I went searching for a website that would help me with my book writing idea.  I was looking for something that would put the thoughts and ideas I had into a book format.  You can find almost anything on the internet!  I found a site that has thousands of books that just regular people have written.  They also have a free program that helps you to build your book.  People make their books for free, publish them to the website and then direct people to the website to purchase them. They really aren't priced much differently than the ones you can find in the book store.  While browsing the site I found that there are books about babies first years, there are photo books, honestly almost anything you can think of, even children's books. It would be a way for me to see the book in print and determine if I want to try and get it published.  I even had an idea last night for a children's book that taught kids something about asthma. It is something that we have dealt with over the years with Beau and I know that children ask a lot of questions about conditions like that especially if they are not the ones with the problem.  It would require research to see if anyone has written a book about it and to make sure I got the proper information to put in it, but I think it is a pretty good idea. I will have to start making some time to work on it each day.
