Daycare Saves the Week

I need inspiration. Trying to survive this week and be a good mom to you. Thank goodness for Ms. Patti. Daycare is a place I know you are learning and growing and becoming an even smarter Bean than what you already are. I thought it was odd when you found one of our miniature American flags and walked around the house waving it as if you were in a parade saying flag over and over. Come to find out you say the Pledge of Allegiance during preschool time at daycare. That's where you learned the word flag! Now you make sure to point out every American flag we pass.

What I'm trying to tell you is most of things you are learning are absorbed at daycare. Somehow in the preschool environment where there is a class and songs and books you soak it up. You are the 'resident librarian' at daycare. Books are your speciality and you are in charge of putting the books away and organizing them and giving them out. What 18 month old likes to play librarian? It seems weird to me but hey! if you love books, we'll support that. If you like school, we won't complain. All of your advanced skills are only icing on the cake for our daycare experience. For us, the most important part of daycare is having Ms. Patti to count on and help us keep things together, especially on some weeks when it seems like we have an impossible mountain to climb.

This weekend was spent with family and friends. We were fortunate to see all the grandparents, Aunt Kaarn and Uncle Cliff, Aunt Clare and Mr. Nick and mommy's friends from middle school! Ashley too! Now the work week has begun and it's a busy one. I don't want this time with you to slip away but I need the week to go by fast so work can calm down too.

Maybe if you are good this week, we'll go back to grandma and grandpa's house where they built you a swing just like daddy had when he was little. You almost were able to move it by yourself!
