of preschool...
The day has finally come that Miss Mack has joined the ranks of millions of other toddlers. PRESCHOOL/Daycare... I was very nervous when I dropped her off but she however, not so much! I took her inside and she just looked at me and said "bye momma" and then she was gone just like that. There were some tears but then I realized they were mine.
When I picked her up she was happy to see me...kinda. She acknowledge me for a split second then went back to what she was doing. On the car ride home she just babbled about coloring, singing, sharing, taking turns, oh...and hitting another kid. Hmmm....I guess I should find out what happen with that. All in all a good day was had.
I guess I need to put on my big girl panties and suck it up...my baby is growing up and she doesn't need me all the time. It's a sad day for me but I am so proud of her.
This has been a real challenge for me and Mack. She has spurts of when she wants to try...lately though she goes into freak out mode when I even mention the word "potty". Now I know that a child will not train until they are ready BUUUUTTT....if they go hide to do poop and can tell you they did...then I would say they are ready right???? Well, I am going to keep pressing forward but not real sure if it will EVER happen. :) I am convinced she will go to college in a diaper! The one thing I will say that hasn't changed since the process started is her choice of entertainment while trying. ;)....Oh...she has gotten some hair too!!!
Soooo....I think my Mack just might give American Idol finalist Adam a run for his money with her own rendition of Queen's "We will rock you". I think she might have a good chance!!!
Sorry the video is a bit grainy...I recorded it on my phone....
Now she has learned alot from these programs and she knows them all by heart....guess what SO DO I...My husband will ask me have you heard about such and such in the news...my usual response is..."was it on Noggin? Otherwise, No."
Well, I had to laugh today because I realized I had no life when they announced NEW EPISODES coming and I actually got excited! Then I thought how sad am I? Oh well, I will be a grown up again one day.....when Mack is about 5, only 3 years away. Hope my brain doesn't check out completely by then!!
We finally had to bite the bullet and have tubes put in Mack's ears. Poor baby had been dealing with constant ear infections since October of last year. They just wouldn't clear up!
Well, on Thursday they were put in and she was such a little champ! She was obviously scared but when they gave her the medicine to calm her down...all was good! She was ready to go! She is finally getting back to her normal jovial self! I am so happy to see her running and playing and not complaining of her ears hurting! The marvels of modern medicine!
Now that Mack is 2 I am waiting for him to put her on a real one and start teaching her to ride. In the meantime we will stick with the not so real one...but it does make me wonder where we are going to end up with this whole motocycle thing!! HMMMM maybe its time to invest in some gear??
Recently I started saying bedtime prayers with my (almost) 2yo daughter McKenzie..from here on out to be referred to as Mack. The first couple of nights she would just look at me when I would place her little hands together to say them. Now every night she gets into her bed and will put her hands together by herself and wait patiently for you to say them. Well, yesterday when I layed her down for her afternoon nap...with no prompting...she placed her hands together for me to say her prayers. I did...she repeated about every third word I said. When I said "Amen" she just looks at me and says...."OKAY!!" It was just the cutest thing EVER!
