PDO Update

Lillian has officailly completed two weeks of Parent's Day Out (four days) and I could not be any happier to report that she has done GREAT! I really agonized over whether or not to send her this year or wait another year. But just seeing how much she is loving it makes me realize that I was right, and she really was ready for this step. I walk her in everyday and there hasn't been one morning that she has cried or held on to my leg begging me not to go. And she is always happy and playing when I pick her up at 1:00. The first two days she did poke out her lip and make a sad face as I left, but never any tears. She has only had one accident there, and has gone from not touching her lunch the first day, to eating everything by the fourth day. Just another sign that she is getting comfortable with her new environment. She loves her teachers, Miss Anne and Miss Frances Anne, and we talk about them a million times a day almost. So far the only tears that have been shed have been my me! 

I will have to say that there is one BIG thing I do not like about her going to PDO. I drop her off at 9:00 and then pick her up at 1:00 (12:45 if I just can't stand it anymore). And then we get home and she takes her afternoon nap which usually last two and half hours. So by the time she wakes up at 3:30-4:00, it is like I haven't seen her all day. So this week I have started picking her up and taking her to get a little treat before heading home for her nap. And with her school being right there in downtown Homewood, there are a bunch of cute places we can choose from to stop in and grab a little after school snack. Tuesday we got frozen yogurt at Tutti Frutti and Thursday we stopped in at Savages Bakery for a cookie. And with Whitten's arrivle just around the corner it has been some really good Mommy and Lillian time. We are always going on playdates or running arrands, so it is nice to have special thing that Lillian and I do together. Of course this pregnant Momma would want that special time to involve eating. After Whitten is born it might have to involve the gym : )
