Routines

Still upper 90's here. Lovin' our outside/water time!

So proud that she can work that sprayer!!!

Another week and we have fallen into a routine. I don't mind really, just don't have a lot to share week to week. We go to school/ work during the week and play on the weekends. Life is pretty good. We've gotten in a habit of talking to Daddy every night before bed which I really love. I don't always make it for in the best of moods, but it is nice that Daddy gets up extra earlier to spend time with me on the computer. These daily blips have helped me keep family in check and know he truly does still exist. I'm still not quite sure why he can't taste, smell, or feel the things I am trying to share with him but at least I can talk to him and give him kisses!!!

We have a very exciting change coming up next week. Mommy says I get to start going to school "at the big school with the airplanes". This is the base day care. Mommy and Daddy have been thinking for a long time it would be a good fit, but my current day care came open first. Lately, Mommy has had a lot of issues with Ms. Amber. She knows most are just cause she's my mom, but we think we might finally know what we want out of day care and hope/ believe the base can provide it. Mommy really didn't want to have another change for me while Daddy is away but we have to take these opportunities when they present themselves or else we may miss out. Plus, Daddy is super excited to share a few lunches and parent/ child dates with me once he gets home. The base care is really great about hosting events that parents can attend and we can't wait! I also have a few friends there. I won't be in their class yet, but maybe when I am two!!

Our favorite past time lately... The PARK!

This weekend we are excited that our favorite park is hosting a hot air balloon event. If it all works out, Friday night we get to go see them light up all the balloons and then they fly them on Saturday morning. We are still working on all the details, but Mommy really thinks this might be a fun way to spend our weekend - hopefully pics to share next week!

Oh, I'm sure there is more to share... I need to start writing down all the things that makes Mommy laugh and speed dial Nana for you to read each week...

Mommy stories:
~ Toddler Fashion: Pink Giraffe shirt + pink and purple plaid skirt + cool new LED Sketchers + Blue Cookie Monster socks. [Picking our battles and laughing a lot! :-) ]

~ One night while trying to go to bed, Maddy wouldn't stop talking during our 'quiet rocking time' I say, "You are a Chatty Cathy!" Puzzled toddler's reply: "I Maddy. I Maddy Melton."


Love till next week, x

Video: One park has a Prairie Dog town. The sign says it was "naturally occurring " when they decided to wall it in in 1979 or something... Perfect for this toddler!
