Daycare blah

Coloring with Daddy!

Well I had my first week of daycare (and Mommy's first week of work). Let's say Mommy's was better than mine. I really like playing with the kids, but we've had some ups and downs at daycare. Originally, Daddy was taking me but was late for work so Mommy started. Well, I definitely make it hard for Mommy to walk away. I'm sure this is just something I have to get used to.... she has always come back so far! I've also been VERY tired all week. I have long days with one nap and am so busy during the day that I was a bit cranky the first few nights.

Although the teachers really seem to care about me and take good care of me, I do watch a lot of t.v. while there. At least, that is what I'm doing every time Mommy or Daddy come to get me (varying times during the week). We are working on a solution to this... is this really what daycare is about?

Finally, Friday brought bad news. I was "off" when Mommy picked me up that afternoon and as I continued to feel and look worse, they took me to the clinic up the street. Yep, first week of daycare brought me a yucky nose, the start of an ear infection, and PINK EYE. Yuck! Luckily, after a couple doses of antibiotics I was feeling much better and enjoyed my Saturday home. Sunday brought on an upset tummy though with everything I have going on. I finally overcame all of it and was a happy healthier girl all of Sunday afternoon and evening. Whew, hopefully all germs are at bay and I don't find anything new this week in daycare (although, I'm likely safe the full 10 days I'm on antibiotics at this point).

I LOVE my Daisy! And she loves me (obviously), letting me do whatever I want to her ;)
In other news... Mommy got to finish my room! I LOVE IT!
"Flowers", "tree", "green", and "yellow" are all daily vocabulary I explore when I'm getting ready or getting a diaper change.

The playroom is also complete. We are lucky enough to have a "formal dining room" in our house off the living room. Specific home buying requirements were to have a room like this. Mommy finally feels like everything has a place. I just love tearing it apart! I also show Daddy the animals every day :)
We look forward to seeing the King Family next weekend (after we sanitize all my toys) and hope the rest of you have a great week. By the way, with Mommy working now, the camera only came out once this week... Recovery day. So yes, I spent All day in my jammies :)
Sometimes a girl has just got to lay down!

Love to you all,
Madelyn et. al.

Hey! The rooms look great! I can't wait to have our "own" place so I can do fun things. We don't know where we are headed when Andy graduates so we'll have to wait until then anyways. Glad things are good well...we'll be praying for a better daycare week and a better mommy-leaving time:(

Love, love, love that bedroom! Lucky girl! Can't wait to see you all, germs or not. We can handle it :) Reading about daycare makes me sad...hopefully the whole week was just 'off' and things get better and more creative. Loves to you all...see you in a few days!
