Bummer:(

Today when I walked Meigan into her classroom, I sensed something must be wrong because her teacher was not there and the asst. director was. The first dreaded words out of her mouth were, " I need to tell you something that has happened". She then proceeded to tell me Meigan's teacher turned in her resignation yesterday and she wanted it effective immediately.
Of course, no details as to why she left so abruptly. They are working on filling her position. Having done pre-school for many years, I know that finding a suitable teacher for 2 year olds is easier said than done. Needless to say, I was sad she left. I thought she was great and Meigan was really starting to take to her. Today, I had to leave her screaming and crying while they were walking to chapel. She is familiar with the Asst. Director, though because she was always in the room to help with Meigan when I would leave.
Made me feel better when I came to pick her up. She was sitting eating her lunch, happy as a clam. When we left, she was blowing kisses and hugging her friends goodbye.

My Little Cheerleader Champion!

Hard to see Jennifer. She's in the very back!

All the hard work pays off!


This weekend we went to Tampa for Jennifer's cheerleading competition at the Florida State Fair. It was cute seeing her squad on that big stage. The nice thing about her age group is win or lose, you still get that prized trophy! They were all very excited to get their awards. That makes it all worth it:)

Busy, Busy, Busy!

We've had a busy week, thus my blog is suffering! Scott's parents are visiting from Ohio so haven't had the chance to get on the computer. Meigan has been sleeping in the room where I have the computer so unless I sneak on after she's asleep... Actually, she's still awake as I type.
Meigan had her first speech therapy on Mon. She started playing with a toy with her therapist and I snuck out of the room. She was fine the whole time! She will have speech twice a week, so I'm glad she felt comfortable without me. Hopefully tom'row will go as well.
Today was her first day of nursery school. She was not happy with me leaving her, crying, clinging, etc.. By the time it was time to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! She has a very sweet teacher. She said you never would have known today was her first day. She played and had a great morning. What a blessing for both of us!
Tonight, I took her to work with me at the church nursery and she said said 2 words very clearly... move and go! This was while she was on the playground waiting to go down the slide. Sounds like she's picking up the toddler lingo already!
Logan and Jennifer got to go airboating today with both sets of grandparents! They saw lots of gators and wildlife. My mom has my camera so hope to post pics of our week tomorrow.

Meigan's Going to School!


I didn't want to post anything about this until I knew for sure, but next Wednesday,
Meigan will be going to nursery school at a local church! I was so happy they had an opening in their 2 yr. old program. We went and visited yesterday. She wasn't quite sure what to think. I'm sure she was more clingy thinking I was going to leave her there. She'll go 2 days a week for 4 hrs. on Wed. and 3 hrs. on Fridays.
We're hoping this will give her an opportunity to develop her language and social skills with kids her age. I can now say I have 3 kids at 3 different schools. Not an easy feat to pull off, but hoping it will be worth it.
I will now also have 3 glorious hrs. to myself on Wednesdays to do anything I want,
and on Fridays, since Jennifer doesn't have school we can hang out together. She loves her just mommy and Jennifer time.
Next week we also get to add to our plate speech therapy sessions. Meigan will go twice a week for 30 min. through our local hospital rehabilitation program.
Eventually, I think I will just move into our van because we seem to be in it more and more.
