CWP Class

On Saturday, I attended an 8 1/2 hour CWP (concealed weapons permit) class. My mother-in-law, Barbara attended, along with her sister, Peggy & two nieces, Connie & Ginger. We had a very long day. The class was all lecture up until about noon. We brought our lunch & ate it outside when we all went outside for the shooting lesson. There were a total of 15 women in the class & all the others were Mary Kay consultants. The instructors were two Greenville Sheriff's deputies.

I had never shot a gun before (unless you count Duck Hunt on the old Nintendo game system). It was a great experience. We used semi-automatic .22 guns. It was light weight and easy to use. I shot 241 out of 250 (96%). I also learned that neither of my eyes focuses well on the target so I used my right eye & then had to adjust some to the right as I was shooting slightly left of the target X. They only let 3 or 4 shoot at a time & since there were 15 women, it took 3 hours for all of us to do the shooting portion. We sat in lawn chairs and ate our packed lunches.

The test was taken after we all were done shooting. I made a 100%. I learned lots of new things, but think I could have learned it all in about 1 hour as opposed to 8 1/2. I was so ready to go home by the end of the day. I should have my CWP in the mail in about 90 days.

That is the longest time I had left Evan. I left the house at 6:45am and did not get home until after 6pm. Vince watched him all day, with Jerry's help. They did a great job as Evan slept for 7 hours straight that night (his all time record). Since then, he's back to waking up every 3 hours. I'm hoping he starts sleeping longer soon.

He's lost a lot of hair already, and not just the little rubbed off spot on the back. He's lost a lot on top of his head as well. He looks like a balding little man. The new growth of hair is coming in, but it's very short now & looks darker to me. He can also roll over if propped up on a pillow. He can roll to either side from his tummy to his back. You can see him rolling here. He grabs all his toys a lot now & really focuses on getting things to his mouth now, including his thumb and hand. I can't believe how much he's done just this week. As of today, he weighs 8 lbs 1 oz! And his newborn clothes are getting tight on him. He's now ready for 0 - 3 months clothes. My little baby is growing!
