Transition Day # 2

For those of you who woke up this morning wondering what Day # 2 for Morgan would be like..the suspense is over. Morgan loves her new friends. When I arrived to pick her up she was playing with the toes of a little boy sitting next to her in this bathtub like device.


Funny how we measure a successful day!

Transition Week

Morgan starts Cummins Day Care this week (academic excel class...of course). Anne decided that a transition week for Morgan would work better than just throwing her to the day care wolves. Poor Anne is still in therapy after Ethan's first day of day care experience when everyone just stared at her when she brought Ethan in.

So what do I have to do with this process? I'm the transition sitter when Morgan isn't at Cummins. Morgan went for about 1 hour this morning. This was what she looked like after the experience:


By now you've figured out the transition is for Mama Anne!

Art

Before we packed up and headed back home today, I took a beach walk. There's some driftwood that has turned into a 'decorator's dream' (nice way of saying junk collector). The first time I saw it was in February when it was decorated in valentines to all sorts of things. Today's collection is 'End of American Beach Vacation'.


Let me know your shoe size and I'll pick you up some slightly used flip flops next trip!

Children having Children

Both of my children have children! It's such a pleasure to see what caring, wonderful parents my children have become. You don't take lessons for that.





Anne--I need some pics of you with Morgan or Ethan. You are always snapping the pictures.

Guest of Honor

We are in Georgia for a long weekend and have a guest visiting us. Bennett Michael Trueblood blew in with his parents a few days ago. When you are 7 weeks old (going on 8), life is busy. There's observation time:




Taking in Bubba's Mexican Restaurant:




And lots of time spent .....




He's truly a bundle of joy!

Organizational Skills

I took Ethan out for lunch at Chipoltes last week. He enjoys eating there, but he most likes keeping his tray clean and avoiding any cross contamination of different food groups. Notice how there are no beans or rice kernels outside of their little compartments. Where does this trait come from??

Rain!

We were welcomed in Georgia by the wet stuff formally known as rain. It's been so long since we've seen any in Indiana!



One of my favorite things about Georgia are the clouds. They are breathtaking.

I'll share some more during our stay.
