Summer Blues

Tomorrow will be a very hard day for me. I will be leaving Taylor at a NEW daycare after being with her for the past 9 weeks. She has gotten so attached to me because she has been home with me all summer. I had originally planned to take her one day a week at her old daycare to keep her in the routine and give mommy some time to get some stuff done, but we found out we were moving at the beginning of the summer, so we quit the daycare all together. Aside from that, I am really excited about her new daycare. The only thing I worry about is the fact that starting August 11th.... she will move into the toddler room(with all the other kids in her class) and they have to sleep on a mat... YES... A MAT!!! I am so worried that Taylor will give them fits b/c she is such a hard headed child anyway... but I have confidence that they know what they are doing and she won't be the only kid having to learn how to do this!! Having that said, she will be in a "big girl" room which makes me sad and reminds me that my baby is about to be a year old!To all you new mothers: time flies and you need to cherish every minute of it!! I have been fortunate enough to be able to spend the first 3 months of Taylor's life at home with her and the whole summer as well... and I can honestly say.. it's still NOT long enough!!
On another note, I start my new job tomorrow as well. The kids don't come until Aug. 11 but we have a whole week to get prepared!! I am so excited about teaching here. This is our church community as well so that makes it even better!! Here are a few pics of Taylor bug over the weekend.. she is a mess. And oh by the way.. she has a tiny bruise on her face from falling onto the metal table leg at my school (she was with me while working in my classroom.. needless to say i got NOTHING done) and a carpet burn on the other side of her face from walking too fast along the chair and sliding down it. She is getting faster by the day and I can just visualize my little girl with marks all over her body from being TOO BUSY!! Needless to say.. WE ARE ENJOYING EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!










PS: To all you moms out there.... you need to check this website out
We had to buy Taylor shoes because she is walking along stuff so much!! We tried the pediped shoes.. and I highly recommend them. They have a soft sole and are great for beginner walkers. Anyway, this website has free shipping and no tax. Check it out!!

Time does fly! I know all too well!! Good luck at school and at daycare. Taylor will be fine. Remember that they all have to learn how to sleep on a mat eventually. Watching the other "experienced" kids really helps the learning process too. You think she is moving fast now- just wait :)
