Big Day

Well, the day has come. Her first day at MDO! And... it wasn't too bad :)

Trying to get out the door was another story though! She was being a little fussy, I couldn't find my checkbook anywhere for the longest, her paci went MIA, and her shoe fell off and I didn't notice until I had her in the car so I had to search the house for it, which it was in her bed! SO, not quite what I had planned :)

So, we get there, and really, its not bothering me too much taking her, especially once I talked to the director and she was really nice and gave me her cell phone number. I took her into her class, and on Monday and Wednesdays there are only 3 other kids in the class, 2 boys and 2 girls. She went to the teacher no problem, then I sat her down by one of the toys and she and the other little girl were playing. Went over everything with the teacher, gave Aubrey a few too many kisses... and, then left. And, Aubrey could have cared less. Which, for her sake is good, but, a little emotion from her for my sake would have been nice! Just kidding :) There is a big window to the room that you can see in pretty much right when you walk in the building, so thats really nice. So I watched her for a little bit before I left, she was perfectly content playing. The director said they were about to go to music, I wish I could have watched! And they also have someone come in and show them sign language. The only thing I was really worried about was nap time. Come to find out, she fell asleep pretty fast, but only for 45 minutes! She usually sleeps for at least an hour and a half!! (she is sleeping right now, and its already been an hour!)
When I got home I made myself a cup of coffee and watched the Wendy Williams Show (if you don't know what it is.. you're better off!! lol!) Then the Bonnie Hunt Show! The sad thing is, I was really hoping TMZ was coming on!! haha! Classy tv watching right there huh?! :) Then, after all of that intellectual stimulation, I did a couple of loads of laundry, did the dishes, and went through a some of my parenting magazines and tore out articles I liked. I picked her up a little early, about 1:40ish. She was just playing. So, all in all, I feel good about it. Tomorrow is a different class with more kids and different teachers, I'm sure she will do just as well in there too :)
Now, I just need to get really organized and make sure I have everything packed for her bag, and clothes set out the night before! Yippee..

Looks like we both survived :)

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I almost forgot!!!
She took her first step today!!!!! 
That's right! This morning while I was getting ready in the bathroom she followed me in there, she crawled up to my leg and stood up, then I stepped back and she stepped forward!! I got pretty excited! She did it once more... then, that's it. I'm going to practice with her some more today! I knew she'd be walking by October. You go girl!! She's getting so big!! :) 

Sorry, no pictures! Maybe I'll get a video of her walking tonight!! :)
