Baby Beluga! Anna loves books and we now have special reading time with one of her teachers before I leave. She is so excited about the book she really doesn't mind when I leave - she loves Baby Beluga. And we always make sure to tell her that I'm leaving. I know one method would be to just sneak away while her attention is diverted but at her school they believe in telling the kids everything that is happening.
This is so much better than how drop-offs were last week where she was so upset and crying.
Also, another great thing I discovered today: applesauce! They must feed it to her at school because I gave her some for breakfast and I said "applesauce" and she said "appeysauce!" and then ate it all up and even had seconds. She also ate all her yogurt and most of her raisins. This is a big improvement from yesterday where she hardly ate breakfast at all. You just never know.
I am really looking forward to this weekend. We have nothing to do except for a dermatologist appointment for me. I've been wanting to go since before I was pregnant - I know, I'm really bad at making time for myself. I am going to have a bunch of stuff looked at, I am just thrilled about it. Woo!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
Woo! for time on your own, whatever the reason.
ReplyDeleteAnd good that you found that book solution. I never really thought of it, but that's basically what smoothed over drop-offs last year when we switched daycares. The Boy was so interested in Mr. Brown Can Moo, he couldn't be bothered to say goodbye to me. The power of literature!
Have you heard the Baby Beluga song yet? That mutha will be stuck in your head FOREVER.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, that was Maggie's favorite favorite favorite book for about 2 months when she was 1! Oh, the memories...I have that one memorized. I heard the song after reading the book about 100 times, and it was not quite as good as I expected. Not the rhythm I had in my head, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAlso, they have the coolest applesauce things at Costco. They are like Capri Sun shaped, but have a little screw-top (like those little lemon juice things) and are very neat and easy for kids to eat. And the applesauce is yummo. I eat it myself sometime.
That's awesome that you've found something to make mornings easier. And I'm totally with you on not sneaking away!
