First Week in Toddler Room

Olivia survived her first week in the Toddler Room at Kindercare.  She was a little dubious at first, but had mostly warmed up by the end of the week.  Her new trick is when she sees me coming to pick her up, she looks at me and starts crying.  Oh goodness!  But they say she's a really good eater.

Last week in the Infant room

Olivia came home with her first sunburn yesterday.  They go outside 3x a day, and now I've filled out her sunscreen form, so we should be all good.  She still won't wear her hat!  Bad girl!

Kevin was on travel to FL again last week, and has to go again next week.  Sad about that.  Poor guy is being put through the ringer at work.  I feel for him.  He's so tired when he's finally home for a bit.

Oh, Olivia has this little toy house with 3 little piggie balls from her birthday and she has figured out to put the balls down the chimney, and then knows how to flip the house around, flip up the lid, and pull them out!!!!  I'm amazed at the coordination!  I didn't expect that so soon!  According to Kevin, she was saying "Trixie" again tonight.  She loves to say "Uh OH" and when I say "momma" and point to myself, Olivia says "momma" and points to herself.  Hmmmm..... need to figure out how to fix that one!  We had our Friday Night Dance Night session tonight - she liked that.   It's amazing how little Livvy-Loo will bop to the beat of songs.  And absolutely adorable!  She's getting so big.  Generally, she liked the new room at daycare - there's lots more to do.  She's still adjusting to the new teachers in that room.  I think Olivia will be walking in no time!

I keep trying to read to Olivia in Spanish - also for my own fun of trying to remember the language.  That will take awhile though.

We're working on teaching Olivia to brush her teeth - that's pretty fun! :)

With our friend, Baby James!

I love having the rocking chair from MD out here - it fits in Olivia's room and that's where we have night time story time with her bottle before attempting to brush teeth and go to bed.  It's so cute, she has three teeth on the bottom but the fourth is taking it's time.  I think it broke through in the last couple days though.  I'm also pretty sure there are molars coming in.

We will buy Olivia shoes tomorrow on our way home from Maddie's birthday party up in Santa Rosa.  I'm looking forward to being social and seeing Natalie and Steve.  Also looking forward to camping with them in a few short weeks.  Today I managed to book a second night at Gualala Point Regional Park - very much looking forward to it, though the drive will be long.

It's been a tough week at work, I'm still working on decompressing.

Very end of Infant room, sharing toys with Ms. Gurdeep

I like grocery shopping with mom!  Lots of plastic bags... and eating puree pouches off the shelf.

Mum-Mum's handiwork, transported from MD!

Food all over our face!  Glorious!

Tonight Delores and Charlie came to babysit and we had a nice dinner at Buffalo Bills - a nice chance to just sit and look at one another. :)  I'm hoping to get a little run in tomorrow morning if I'm up early enough, or in the evening after our big day.  I'll need to harvest some tomatoes as well.


My sunflowers are fun, one plant fell over completely in the wind the other day.

Sadly, Kevin returns to FL next week and that will kinda ruin our Labor Day weekend, and the chance to get much done on the house.  I'm holding out hope that we'll make progress on the stonework out front though.  WHo knows.  I wish I knew how to do the work to fit the door to the guest bedroom.  It sure would be nice to have all the real doors up, with doorknobs and everything.

Beddie-bye time for momma.  She's tie-tie.  xoxo
