Daniella: Moving On Up

Well we are trying to move Daniella along the big girl continuum. Today, I took of the front part of her crib to move her into the toddler bed. I am not sure what to expect with this transition but tonight our fingers are crossed for a good night. She had been crawling into Marianna's bed for the past couple weeks and pulling the sheets up and tucking herself in...and then screaming when I took her from her nest and put her in the crib. We thought she might be trying to tell us something. So here goes nothing!!

Halloween Decorations? ...Check!

It is no secret that I absolutely love Halloween! When Marianna asked me the other day if we could decorate I said..."Absolutely!!". So I surprised her when she came home from school by getting out all our decorations. She was so excited! I am also the chairperson for their classroom Halloween Party and I can't wait!!

Deena's First Foods

She was loving it!!

Homework...ugh.

Today was Daniella's "repeat" first day of school.  Everything went really well and she had no problem at drop off.  YEAH!

 About every other night, Marianna has some homework to do.. After we spend some time practicing on the dry erase board, then she does the work.  It took quite some time today to get our 2's and 3's down.  However, she soon had it nailed.  Way to go Marianna!

First Day of School That Never Happened

Here is Daniella all dressed and ready for her first day of school at First Presbyteran. Too bad it never happened!!! Daniella took one step in the Butterfly Room and threw up everywhere!!! Not once, but several times. Just stood there and vomited. Some parents decided not to leave their kids because they were afraid their kids would get sick. I am beyone mortified but take comfort in knowing that one day...way in the future...I will look upon this day and laugh. Today though, I am not finding it too funny.
