Beginning to Transition

I was given the congratulations paper today. Congratulations that your baby is now going to the big girl class whether you like it or not. We are excited but sad that our baby is now a big girl. She is capable of doing so many things: pottying, feeding, socializing, following directions, and moving safely around. It will be good for our $ since we have her going 4 days a week we will save another $200 going to the big girl class. Then it actually becomes relatively affordable for good care and great meals. Want to know what she is eating tomorrow for breakfast: turkey chorizo and scrambled eggs. Today for lunch she had chicken enchiladas and refried beans. Sign me up.

Since beginning her transition her communication has been abounding. Yesterday, she told me, "Mommy look! The Heron is the same color as the truck, white" or "Mommy look the airplane!" (out her window, then she notices out the windshield), "Mommy look the airplane turned around" (thinking that the airplane was the same plane). Everyday it is head turning comment that I am constantly going, "Paul did you just hear what she said". Ohh, and the why questions: but why, or what happened. And then you give her a perfectly good answer and she stares back with those beautiful brown eyes and repeats the question to you like you never answered it the first time. Her questioning, although developmentally important, is exhausting. I remember Kari going through this and it is like hitting your head against the wall because they are really good questions but the answers don't make any sense to them.

It's Official

(The baby is head up to the left of the egg sac).

Baby #2 is on his/her way. We saw the baby yesterday. He/She is 1.8 cm and has a nice, strong heart beat. Izzy was with us and she kept saying, "See it Momma! See it!" She first called it Mommy's turtle, then changed it to a pig. We say where is the baby? and she says in Mommy's belly. Little does she know how her life is going to change. Poor kid!
