One major change is the transition from having Miles and Hadley in full time daycare to having them home full time with a brigade of super nannies. The kids had lots of fun with Amy and her 4-year old, Daren, last week. Things seem to be a bit more relaxed around our house - the hustle, bustle and rigid schedule of daycare can take a toll after awhile. We know that these 'second moms' watching over our little ones will care for them well, nurture and help them grow.
Miles also started preschool at Little Saints at St. Huberts this week. He'll be attending Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:10-11:40. His teacher, Miss Emily, reported that he had "an awesome first day." There were no tears and Miles seemed to fit right in with the other kids and the fun activities.
Our little man says the funniest things (as most parents of 3-year olds can attest to). Here are the two I wrote down this week.
Miles was singing the song "I've got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart! Where?" He belted every word until he got to the refrain when the lyrics changed suddenly. Instead of singing "I've got the love of Jesus in my heart," his version goes "I've got the love of cheeses on my shirt!"
Today when I was waiting to wipe Miles up after a #2 on the potty he announced very authoritatively, "you're the cleaner of my butt." Yep, that's me!
Our baby officially crossed into the realm of toddler-hood this week. We've been hanging on tightly to her babyhood but try as we might she's growing. You know your baby's not a baby when she pretend-plays that she's a baby. She wants to be cradled and will cry out in a little, high voice like a baby. She also takes very good care of her own babies (dolls). We found her in the bathroom this weekend lovingly smearing Desitin all over the clothes covering her dolls bottom, happily announcing "butt!" It's also beyond cute when she pats her baby on the back to burp it and gives it little kisses.
Amy took the kids sledding on what we now know to be the best toddler sledding hill in the neighborhood (our newly landscaped backyard!). She's the photographer behind these pics. Sledding was so much fun that Hadley didn't even wait her turn on the sleds and just went down belly first in the snow.
