First Haircut

 
I have been putting of this whole 'first haircut' thing.
Her hair has been growing sooooo slow!!!
But her hair was also getting very stringy at the ends.
She loved the experience.
She chose to drive the fire truck and held her head exactly as asked.
I'm hoping this haircut helps her hair to grow quicker!

Balance Bike

 
 
 
This girl got a balance bike for Christmas and she couldn't be more excited!
She wants to ride a big girl bike so bad, but I really don't want to do the whole training wheels thing,
So we are attempting this.
 
She is one happy girl.

New Bed

She's been promoted...
No, but seriously. M had been sleeping in the guest room 
because she wanted to sleep in a big bed (her room still had a toddler bed), 
so off we went on a bed hunt. 
I'm in love with her new little bed! 
She is too. 
She helped pick out the color and comforter with a little nudge from her momma of course.


Breathe

I have ended my days as the preschool teacher at The Wonder School and have moved on to nannying 2-3 days a week for a family.  Let's just say I needed a little breathing room. My goal is to spend as much time with my daughter as possible and to help her learn and grow. What was a part time job was turning into far more than that and was leading to stressful weeks. I don't want that for Madelyn or myself, so on we go to new adventures. We have met a wonderful family in east cobb that needs about 4 hours of help 2-3 times a week with their 2 year old and 4 month old. Madelyn has a blast playing with all their toys and playing/teaching the 2 year old. And I still get to make some extra needed cash. We are much happier, much less stressed and have more time freed up for things we want to do like storytime, swimming, playdates, park fun, etc...

Bed time

Bed time is one of our favorites!
Matt and I take turns putting her to bed. We read her 2 stories then she snuggles herself to sleep.

Recently our conversations have gone something lile this:
V- talking to her about her day and what we are going to do tomorrow.
M- Mommy, shhh!

And goes to sleep.

V- asking M questions about her day... repeats questions because no answer.
M- I'm done talking.

And goes to sleep.

Happy New Years

 
We are not big fans of New Year's Eve.
But we did enjoy spending the evening with friends.
We were the first to arrive and the first to leave....
Not surprising.
