One thing that will make the transition easier is that Kaitlyn has the most amazing grandparents ever. Grandpa Dave, Grandma Debbie, and Grandma Bonnie will all be watching Kaitlyn during the week, so she will not be going to day care until next fall. When I am off at the end of June for summer, I'll take over again. Now, instead of being worried about someone we don't know watching her, I can focus all of my worry on taming 27 rowdy third graders...woo hoo.
We are in "nap bootcamp take 2" at the Collins household. We bought a "sleep book," and are implementing some researched methods to get Kaitlyn on a good routine so she'll nap longer. I have been in catnap hell for a while now, and we are hoping that this will help us and all of the grandparents have an easier time. We've only been at it for a day and a half, but it actually seems to already be making a difference. Please cross your fingers for us! It's a process that takes a lot of work, patience, and persistence on our part, but hopefully it will pay off.
Jeff and I got to go out for my birthday on Friday. We had dinner at The Melting Pot, a first for both of us. It was waaayyyyy overpriced (as many of you know), but I get the feeling that we paid for the experience, which was really fun. :) The dessert was my favorite! We tried to go out with some friends afterwards, but only made it until 10:30. Somehow staying up late doesn't seem worth it anymore when you know you'll be up at about 4:00 and then 6:30 for the day...
Here are some pictures!
Before our night out. Yes, those are Christmas decorations in the back. Remember the catnaps? Those make it pretty hard to get things done (that's my excuse, anyway...)
I bought Kaitlyn a mirror :)
Look at how big she is!
These sunglasses are the result of a shopping trip with Kara and Paige. She's rockin' 'em.
