Daycare Resolution

Sorry no pic right now but just a little update.

Most of you don't know but we've been struggling with our daycare situation. We have been actively looking for a while and since we did not feel that the girls were unsafe in their current daycare, we allowed them to continue. Today we found out that the head of the infant room is resigning her position and is starting an in-home daycare, closer to our house. Not only is she a gifted person with children, but our long-time babysitter will be working there for the summer too. So both girls will have some continuity of care and we think this will be a much happier situation for us all. Thank God!

Little Daredevil

The zoo has a great little playground area with a play gym just big enough to make a three year old's Mom a little nervous. Carys is a little monkey on these things and despite the height of the ladders, she was climbing up everywhere. Luckily on this visit, Poppy was with us to serve as a "safety" in case she slipped. And she actually didn't have any trouble at all.

Favorite Activity-Walking

A while back I promised pics of Helen walking. Here she is in her early days. Now that she knows I'm willing to do this, she wants to walk all the time. I wish I had more time with her to take her around. She's really excited to walk around and every few steps she'll stop and look up at me with a great big grin. I wish I could get that on camera but I'm holding both of her hands. Sounds like a job for Poppy...

Best Friends

Carys has a best friend named Dani. They met at daycare and it was a match made in heaven for us all. Dani's parents are lawyers and Dani has a baby sister too. We get along great and the best part is that Dani and Carys really do get a long well for a couple of three year olds!

Caterpillar

One of my favorite things about having a garden and a three year old is watching them discover new life forms. Actually, Poppy and I discovered this caterpillar and kept him for Carys. She loved playing with him he actually escaped alive which is more than I can say for any ants that cross Carys's path.
