i`m a big girl now


Hey,
This past week was my very first week at daycare! Very exciting times, even though I`m not sure what`s happening lately. Every day we went someplace early in the morning, then mom, dad or gram came to take me home. By that time mommy was already there and we went home. And now, it`s weird because today we didn`t go first thing in the morning (Sat.), but we did go to an adventure to the mall. Anyway. I had a very exciting week, but I was rather shy and it took me the whole week to feel comfortable a little bit. I ate and slept well by Friday and every day when mom read my report card, she laughed and hugged me it made her so glad that I`ve started to feel okay there. She had a hard week too at her new job and that is another thing for her. But now she knows that I`m safe and good there and so maybe she could focus on her work from next week. :)

My favorite thing about daycare is that I`m never alone. No busy mommy on the phone or in the kitchen, no being pushed aside when I`m not supposed to be somewhere. The place is all for me and well, for other babies too. But there are not too many of them, so when I cry and really want something, which happened pretty often so far, I always get attention. This is great. Other kids are friendly, but we didn`t play too much this week. Just getting to know me, err..my crying voice mostly. Harriett is big. She goes over to toddler group shortly. She can walk and has a big belly. Oscar is 1 month older than I am, he is happy mostly, but cries more since I showed him how to do it for real. :) Arabelle and Alexandra are just a little younger than I am, they are okay. Alex likes my mommy, cuz she looks like hers. Now, that is not nice. But thats true that I like teachers who look a bit like mom, so I guess thats not weird of her either. Arabelle is a little younger, but she is huge. Those girls are biiig, chubby, I look small next to them. But: neither one of them can crawl yet, I think they should lose some weight first..:) And there is Alexander, he is also big, he`s the teething champion right now. And the last one is little Odin. He is a happy little guy, only 6 months old, but never cries. His mommy comes the same time mine does and they talk. He is very independent for being almost half my size and age.

I like it there. Janet and EVI are the afternoon teachers, I forgot the name of the morning teachers. They are all great and really care for us, a lot. I think I`ll invite them to my birthday and my buddies too. Time to make friends!
