We survived!!!!!! Mommy and Caroline both survived the first week of school! No meltdowns, no drama, no disasters, YEAH! I was a little nervous about our morning routine. Last year Peeps house was right on the way to school. I added an extra 5 minutes to my morning. Peep fed Caroline her breakfast, changed her clothes, etc. This year I have to get her up, change her clothes, feed her breakfast and take her to Mrs. Jerri's, which is a 15 minute drive there and 15 minutes back to school, an extra 30 minutes to the morning. Caroline has to get up around 6 or 6:15 which breaks my heart. She's usually sleeping so well and looks so cozy... She's really into pointing at things in her room so once she's up, we have to go around the room and talk about each picture or item. I tell her what it is and she points and jabbers. She has two books above her changing table; one is a lamb and one it a rabbit. When I ask her where the lamb or rabbit is, she can point to it. She can also point to the fan when asked. (Aunt Katy and Aunt Tomi Jean have birds on their fan that she likes to point to.) I heard someone at school sum up the summer with their child perfectly-I really got to meet and learned so much about my child and their personality. I am amazed at what she has learned and how quickly she picks up on things.
Caroline continues to love going to daycare. She loves watching the other children and she thinks she is just as big as they are... She has learned to climb up the slide, crawl around and come back down on her bottom. Yesterday when Andy picked her up, Mrs. Jerri had another funny story. Caroline wanted her juice that was on the table so... she pushed the bumbo over to the counter, stepped inside, stood on her tippy toes and got her cup. She was so proud of herself.
She also received her first battle scar at daycare this week. Because she's so juicy and cute, someone decided to get a little taste. The crazy thing is the little girl who got her is the cutest, sweetest little thing. Mrs. Jerri was so sweet and so apologetic. I told her not to worry, I am sure there will be a day when I am on the opposite end of the conversation-finding out that Caroline did that to someone else... things happen.
Don't you want to take a bite????
If you ask Caroline what the cat says, she will meow. (Thanks to Aunt Tomi Jean and Grace) We've started working on different animal sounds. When we read books like "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See" we discuss the different animal sounds. Today when we asked her about the tiger she said "gggrrrooooorrrrrrrr." We were both so surprised!!! She was so excited and every time we would ask her, she would make the sound and smile. So sweet! :0)
happy happy girl!
It's hard for me to believe that I only have 3 more weeks of weekly posting before my sweet baby is a year old... WOW, where has time gone? Hope you enjoy our pictures, have a great week!
I thought she looked so cute! Her hair was so fluffy and her outfit was so cute!
What??????

Caroline LOVES to put her face in the bubbles! It's so much fun!!!!
God is so good!
Caroline has discovered the toilet! :0) This morning while Granny was getting ready for her doctors appointment, Caroline went in the bathroom to keep her company. We saw her head for the toilet but we wanted to see what she was going to do. She stood up, looked at it and began playing. She splashed water on herself and around the toilet. She had the BIGGEST grin! She thought it was great. Of course I let her play long enough to get pictures and then I put the lid down. She looked at it for a minute and then began using the lid as a drum. After she had had enough with that, she moved over to the bathtub. She tried to pull herself in but it didn't work so she decided to pull the things that she could reach out onto the floor. She had a great time entertaining herself and keeping Granny company...
