Last week

Last week was a little nuts around here so I didn't have time to write. It was Miss C's first full week at the day care and it was filled with a lot of new adventures and challenges.

While at day care for the first half of the week Miss C played hard and there were very few tears after the first day. She colored many pictures. Everday she played outside and came home sweaty, sandy and tired from all the activity. I think she likes the structure and routine that is part of this new toddler room. Not to mention all the new exciting toys and learning opportunities.

While at home, it appeared to be a little different story. Monday it was freaking out when her new sitter came over. It wasn't the first time Katie had watched her so her reaction was shocking. She was so distraught and exhausted we put her to bed having barely eaten dinner. Tuesday there was crying or hitting (sometimes me, sometimes herself) and an early bedtime.

Wednesday was the first day of my vacation and I took her to the daycare so I could run some errands and go to the spa. I picked her up early and Miss Amy came to watch her. There was still a little adjustment when she saw Miss Amy too but nothing like Monday.

Thursday we learned that a lot of her behavior was likely less about the change to the new room and more about the fact she was getting sick. She puked about an hour after I dropped her off which was also about an hour after SP left for his ball trip with his friends.

She was a sick little girl who ended up running a fever and wanting nothing more than to be held by her Monja. This was made more challenging because a) my car died in the driveway and b) I had no way to jump it because I couldn't get to SP's car because his friends had parked in the driveway and didn't leave their keys. Had to call a tow truck, get a jump and then lug my sick baby to get my car fixed so I would have a vehicle.

What followed was a road trip to Louisville where she thankfully slept and I was able to then get some help from both sets of parents. Since she wanted to be held non-stop 24/7 there was no way I would have made it without someone helping. Made me really wish I was home especially with SP being gone.

So long story short...my vacation was a bust other than a good day at the spa and the fact that I was able to see my high school friends for a bit. But more importantly, Miss C is much better.
