Although most things are put away, by no means is our house complete. Like I said before, we are still awaiting furniture. We are also waiting for our window treatments to arrive. Unfortunately it will probably be another 3 weeks before we have them. In the meantime we are the white trash family of the neighborhood with sheets up over our bedroom windows. If you would like a tour of our home all you have to do is drive by at night. We have no coverings over our windows downstairs so you can see Everything going on in our home. This freaks me out beyond belief. I hate that people can see everything that we're doing, wearing, etc. I especially hate that people can see my kids. I understand that we don't live in the ghetto, but there are creepy people everywhere!
Ava had her first day at her new daycare on Wednesday. We stopped over at Cyndi's (her new daycare provider) house on Tuesday for about thirty minutes just so Ava could meet her again and Cyndi could meet Grant. I dropped her off on Wednesday morning and she didn't even want to give me a hug and kiss good-bye. She blew me a kiss from across the room and kept playing. It was then that I knew she was going to be just fine. I spend so much time worrying about how she's going to adjust to all these changes, and she does just fine each and every time. It just goes to show that worrying is a waste of time. She had a great day there and even used the potty all day long. Of course she came home and peed in her diaper here. Go figure. While she was at daycare Grant and I went to my eye doctor appointment. Good news...my eyes are back to normal and I can start to try to wear my contacts once again. I am so grateful to have my vision back, and am most definitely looking forward to trying to get back into contacts full time again.
Thursday morning Ava headed out for her first day of preschool. I don't know how much like a preschool it is, but we call it that. It's at a church not too far from our house. Cyndi has a 2 yr old son who attends and recommended it to us. Ava gathered her Dora backpack and new Minnie lunch box and we were out the door. We walked in the door and before I even got her coat off she says, "bye mom". She did give me a hug and kiss good-bye this time and was then off to play. She is there from 9:30-2:00. They don't take naps there so she was exhausted after I picked her up and fell asleep on the 10 minute drive home. She's already talking about how excited she is to go back next week.
Tomorrow morning Grandma & Grandpa Becker will arrive to spend the rest of the weekend with us. We're excited to spend some time with them, show them our new place, and let them love on our kids. Hopefully I can get a little more unpacking and organizing done while I have some extra hands here to help with the kids. They will be shocked at how big Grant has gotten, and how much he is smiling. Today he started cooing a bit more and was full of smiles tonight. He is growing so fast. I can't believe that 6 weeks has already passed. But then again, I can't believe how quickly 2 1/2 yrs has gone with Ava. Speaking of Ava once again, I just have to say what a great big sister she is. Today Grant was crying and she ran over to him, covered him up with her blankie and laid down with her head on his belly telling him, "it's ok buddy, I'm here, you're ok". Shockingly enough, he stopped crying and the two of them just laid there. She is so kind and gentle with him. I hope that she continues to be this way not only with him but with others that she meets in life.
I think that's all for now. Thanks for checking in and enjoy your weekend!
