It's been a full week and I haven't had a chance to update this blog. My husband was out of town for work for the week and Grandma was here. Sorry to those of you who check often, hoping to hear something. There's not a lot to share, but here's a run down of our week for anyone interested....
Monday's playdate was fine, though I was exhausted. I tried to nap in the afternoon, but didn't have much success. I slept better the rest of the week. Rachel's napping has improved, and has been from about 1:45-3:30 or 4:00 this week.
Tuesday Rachel had school and Grandma surprised her by coming with me to pick her up. I hadn't told her Grandma was coming to visit, and she was THRILLED to see her at the door. Poor Grandma had a cold, though, which kept getting worse and worse as the visit went on. I also found out that day that Rachel is the youngest in her class at school (I wondered because at her field trip last week I noticed that she was the shortest, so I asked her teacher). In fact, the day after her birthday, when she'll turn four, there is another student turning five! A whole year older! I'm hoping the other students' maturity is rubbing off on Rachel!
Wednesday Rachel and I went to Rachel's music class she's been taking at the library while Grandma stayed home, not feeling good. It's a four week class and this was the third week. She enjoys it, but the first couple of weeks she was rather shy and had trouble participating in the activities. This time I reminded her several times beforehand that she needed to do what the teacher did and for whatever reason she did a much better job of participating. Grandma went to urgent care after we got home and they said she had some sort of infection (sinus?) and gave her an antibiotic. Rachel was sad not to get to play with Grandma as much as usual, but I was still happy for the company, though I felt bad that she had to be sick at my house--it's no fun being sick, especially away from home.
Thursday morning Grandma was feeling a little better, and left for home when Rachel went to school. When I picked Rachel up she told me she didn't have a great day at school because Miss Jessie told her she had to walk. I couldn't figure out the whole story from what Rachel told me, but she was obviously very upset about getting scolded and she told me over and over. Hopefully on Tuesday I can talk to her teacher and find out more to the story, though it's probably no big deal. Thursday night Daddy came home. We were happy to see him.
Friday was our only day of the week with no plans. And it was pouring down rain all morning. We went grocery shopping. Play doh and painting were also on the agenda for the day. Sounds dull, but it was really nice to have a relaxing day. Friday night we started The Bathroom Project. My birthday present (back in March!) was to have our downstairs bathroom redone because we don't have any sort of cabinet in there, and I've been wanting one forever. So we finally got our act together and got started. More on that in another post, when it's finished.
