We've been trying to conceive another baby for about four months now. Now that Greg is three, we are ready to have another child so that he can have a playmate. Wil and I found out that I am expecting twins! The doctor told us yesterday that they will be fraternal boy/girl twins. Now that we know for sure, we're going to tell Greg that he's going to have both a new baby brother anda new baby sister. I think he'll be very excited. This time, Wil and I agreed quickly on names for our two new little ones. We will name them Ethan Benjamin and Amber Paige.

A few weeks ago, I got a job offer from one of the highest ranked private schools in the country. They want me to teach second grade! If I accepted the job, we would have to move the family to Colorado, where the school is located. I can't say that I don't want this job, but I've got more than me to think about. Wil has a steady income and is very happy where he works. There's also Greg and the twins to think about. Wil and I talked it over and we decided that I would decline the job offer. I think it is the best thing and Wil thinks so too.

(I hope you don't mind if I change daycare to preschool.)
This year, Wil and I enrolled Greg in a small preschool near our home. Overall, Greg is doing well, but there have been some problems lately. The teacher has mentioned to me that Greg doesn't get along too well with the other kids. His teacher said that he has pushed the other students and will play all by himself in a corner when he doesn't get his way. I'm not sure why he's doing this because he is a perfect angel at home. It may be that he just has too much energy or is too overwhelmed to cope with the thirteen kids in his class. I've set up a few playdates one on one with Greg and some of the other kids in his class. Hopefully, this will remedy the problem. If not, Wil and I will consider taking him out of the preschool class until next year.
