The summer has started...

... at least the summer session at Daycare anyway. Today was a bitter-sweet day. Addison started daycare. Since my job can be quite demanding at times, we had decided it would probably be a good idea to enroll Addison in the same daycare Troy attends. Their program is in very high demand, so we requested 1 day a week starting with the summer session (and for the fall/spring session). It was hard to tell back in March where she would be at this point, so we figured it would be better to sign up for the day and change it later if we needed to. Since Tim got there early and was the 8th person in line, we got our request. We had until May 4th to make any changes, which came and passed before I even realized it. I had sort of decided to hold her off until this fall since she isn't walking yet and would have to go to the nursery instead of the 1 year olds' class. But, since it was too late to change, she went to the nursery this morning.

She had gotten up at 5a.m. (teething again) and ended up falling asleep by 7, so she didn't actually go until closer to 10. They said she did GREAT! Of course she did. She's a great baby. She only napped about 45 minutes, but the little aquarium toy they have on her crib was apparently enough to lull her to sleep today. She naps really well for me at home, but never does well on the road so I was a little nervous. It was a little bitter sweet for me to have a day to get things done. I'm on a work break right now, with new meetings starting up in mid-June, so I took advantage of the time to run some errands and start some spring cleaning. The day flew by in a flash and before I knew it she had scooted back over to my arms.

Troy also moved up to the 3 year olds' class today. He's more than ready to move up to the next level of skills, but I'm not as excited about the fact that they don't offer a nap. They have quiet time with a video (where I guess some of the kids actually drift off to sleep). I'm still not sure about this since he usually naps for 2-3 hours at home. It was a little rough tonight after he got home, so we'll have to play it by ear to see if it gets any better.

Other than that, things have been zipping by (and I don't even have any photos to show for it). Addison is working on more teeth. This time it's 4 on top... all at the same time. NOT FUN! Troy is still obsessed with all things creepy and crawly. We're all looking forward to the nicer weather sticking around for a while (although it's rainy this week). I think we might even break out the kiddy pool this weekend. I'll surely get pictures of that.
