Kaylee is so cute when we go over to people's houses. We were at Matt/Krissy's house last night and she just put on a show for them. I don't think if I could tell her how I want her to behave and have her follow my instructions, that she could possibly be any better behaved. Basically I'm trying to say that she is a dream to take care of. She's funny, almost always in a good mood, she goes with the flow and isn't afraid of things easily. She's pleasant when she first wakes up from a nap, even. Not to say she isn't normal, she throws tantrums and I've had my "Oh my gosh, let's just get out of here" embarrassing moments in public with her. She still doesn't sleep through the night and doesn't eat unless it's on her terms. But I don't think Eric and I could have ever dreamt of or could have prayed for a better baby. Okay, enough gushing. I just had to get it out there...
Kaylee tried the music class and she did very well, behaving better than she did at 15 months. They said she didn't sit the whole time but attempted to participate and follow instructions. They think she's ready so we are going to enroll her in their weekly class. Oh....my baby's first academic experience! We're so proud!
I went back to 40 hours a week the last couple weeks because things are more busy at work. I am tired and have fallen back on chores, etc. I can't keep up! Maybe with a couple more weeks under my belt I'll get the hang of it! I need to figure out with Eric what we need to do with our schedules so Kaylee isn't in daycare too long each day. Last week she was there an average of 9.5 hours a day or so. A bit much.
She did get bit again at daycare this week. They said her and the other baby were fighting over a wagon when she was bit. I dread that accident report and can't wait till the babies are past this phase. I'm glad they are tracking the incidents so that if there's a repeat offender they can get rid of that baby (at least during their biting phase).
Kaylee is supposed to move up to the next room at 18 months, I plan on stopping in tomorrow and meeting her new teacher. Hopefully the transition will go well, I'll keep you posted. We are very excited to get our daycare fees cut down about $24 a week. This is the first time we catch a break for fees.
This weekend felt a bit more calm than last because we didn't have any plans. I'm trying to get caught up on laundry and chores today.
Last weekend being labor day, we had a lot of family plans. It was fun for us to spend time with Eric's parents while they were in town. We went to a lot of family get-togethers, out to eat (we learned sitting outside with the babe works well), to a picnic and to the park a few times. I have some cute photos of Kaylee to post but need to get them from folks so hopefully they'll be up here soon.
Kaylee has begun not wanting to sit in her stroller when we go on a walk. She wants to walk too. This makes for a very slow pace. At first we tried to hold her hand while in the street. She fussed and cried a lot. So then we made her walk on the inside by the curb and every time a car came we made her hold hands. The first time around the block she cried the whole time we held her hand while there was a car. Then the second time around the block the next day she didn't cry hardly at all at the hand-holding. Her desire for independence is very obvious. I'm thinking it's a good sign for potty-training in a few months! :)
