Weekend in Review

I had such a great weekend. My dad came to town to help celebrate my housewarming. I always love it when he comes to town and my goodness so does Regan. We picked her up from school Friday and she was super excited to see him. I was excited because I had someone to handle the baby while I did last minute running around to prepare for the party.

The party was great. Small and low key, but still nice. The rain didn’t stop folks from coming out. There was tons of food and drink. And I mean TONS. I have so much stuff left over I could truly have another party and not have to purchase a thing.

Regan was thrilled to have kids over to play with. For the first time ever, she was up in her room playing quietly and I was downstairs. I am so looking forward to more days like that!

On Sunday I had hoped to lay around the house and do nothing, but my dad had other plans. He was quite befuddled with my step stool, which he deemed “dangerous,” so he packed us up and we headed to the home improvement store. When all was said and done, I had a new ladder, a bucket and some other stuff I can’t recall. Dad worked in the garage doing some things I needed done and then we both worked in the yard a bit. Regan just ran in circles and rolled around in the wet grass. She had a blast.

I was sad to see my dad leave this morning, but my heart was happy that he drove all the way down here just because I asked him to. I loved that my friends finally got to meet him.

How was your weekend?

I will run the dishwasher five times in a row to keep from having to wash a dish by hand. I refuse!

This is the pattern of my new bedding and the inspiration for decorating my bedroom and master bath.

She’s obsessed with mommy’s phone.

Regan loves her new daycare. Loves it. And I am so happy. It gives me great relief to drop her off every morning and know that she is happy to be there. When we walk in the front door she darts to the lunch room looking for her teacher whom she knows is the giver of breakfast. Regan is like a very loyal puppy. You feed her once and you are bonded for ever. But, oh, don’t let us get there before breakfast time. She looks at me like I am delivering her to the gallows. Nevermind she’s already eaten some small snack at home. She needs her hot breakfast the moment she walks in the door.

She also comes home with homework. Just a couple of sheets of pages to color, but I like that they are gearing us up for homework. Yes, I said us. It won’t be long (tears!) before she has real deal homework and we will have to fit it into our evening routine.

I’ve noticed an improvement in her communication since she started there. She can finally say the long “e” sound. So now she says daddy instead of dada and mimi instead of mama. Tis great for trying to figure out who she is talking to.

Yes, I am really happy with the new daycare. So much so, that I can even overlook this:

Waiting on my doorstep when I got home last night. Thanks, mom!
