Well, the first week of the year was semi-successful. Allie and I had a busy week of school, and "daddy" had a busy week of work. I found myself 3 out of the 5 work days falling asleep on the couch by 6:30! Michael said he couldn't even awake me, for I was out! I do feel very accomplished, however, because I have gotten a great deal of things done during the day at work. I have a very good co-worker that keeps me on my toes and has helped me to strive to organize! I have actually gotten all of my lesson plans done for the next four weeks! My house on the other hand has suffered a little!
Allie has started a new week in day care. She is no longer in one of the "nurseries" that they have at her day care; she is now in Toddler I! She has done so well, and I am so proud of the progress that she is making. She actually walks down a hall to go to lunch now and sits on a real live lunch table! Oh, how she is growing so quickly. On Friday, I had an opportunity to go into work at 7:15 instead of being in a meeting at 7:00, so I had more time to spend with her that morning as I walked her to day care instead of dropping her off. As I walked her into her classroom and put up her sippy cup, Allie looks at me and says, "Bye Mommy!" and starts to play with some toys! I was shocked to see that she wasn't the least bit sad that I was leaving, but I think she has gotten it into her head by now that I will return.
So, first week, you have come and gone. I have kept almost all of my "Changes for 2011", and am looking forward to another challenging week. I think for now, I will just sit back and enjoy my coffee. Mmmmmm.
