Pads

I had a stack of pee pads sitting on the chair in the living room. I was downstairs when things seemed a little quiet.  This is what I found. The pee pads gently unfolded and stategicly placed on the steps.

She is such a ham

They say its your birthday.

Last night we celebrated Grandma Jeans 59th birthday.

As much as my mom enjoyed having us there I believe her favorite part was having her 2 grandkids there playing with each other and loving on her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM !!!

Sick Day

Friday, Charlotte stayed home from school. I had just gotten ready when I went into her room to wake her, and get her going. When i realized something was wrong. Take a look at her eye. It is swollen, pink and purple.

After I calmed myself down I got on the phone with her Dr. and we were in his office by 9am.

Thank goodness she did not have pink eye. In fact, we were never able to decided what was wrong. There were no obvious signs pointing to this being an infection, and there were no obvious signs pointing to the fact that it was not. So, she was given an antibiotic eye drop.  Have you ever tried giving a toddler eye drops? It is nearly impossible.

From the picrure you can tell she is really bothered by it.

After the Dr's we went to my office to tie up a few loose ends, and grab some things for me to work on from home. She was a huge help in the office. Coloring and eating all our Swedish fish. She must think work is pretty great if that is what she would get to do all day.

Easter 2011

School girl

(Morning of the first day)

4 Weeks ago Charlotte started daycare and it has been a real adjustment. I really do not think there was an easy way to introduce Charlotte to this new schedule. I wish there was a way to ease her into it , but there was not and we had to jump right in. She has done really well. 

 I am really lucky and do not have to be to work until 9am. This honestly has been a huge life saver. Charlotte gets herself up in the morning, and has time to drink her juice, eat some breakfast and watch a good part of a movie every morning. There is no rushing, and I believe that this has really helped a lot.

The first 2 weeks were really rough, and A LOT of tears were shed from Charlotte and me. There were a lot of days where I could hear her crying for me as I walked out of her class, and I cried walking out the building and while driving to work. I cried alot at home, first thing in the morning, and when going to bed at night.

After 2 weeks the tears stopped, and leaving in the morning has been a little less heartwrenching. She will now go off and start playing with the kids, or go over to be with her teacher.

And even though it is so hard to say goodbye in the morning, they best past of the day is picking her up when she sees me and runs and gives me the biggest hug.
