We have been super busy over the past week. Work was crazy busy for no real reason and Miss C is just so involved in everything!
On Tuesday, we had a Toddler Dinner at Miss C's school. DH is still out of town so he missed it but Miss C had fun. I did find out that she is very territorial when it comes to Mama. One of the other little girls in her class (Kenzie) tried to sit in my lap a few times when we were reading (all of the kids gathered 'round when Miss C brought me a book to read to her) and later on when I was playing with Miss C while she climbed through the tunnel. When Miss C saw her little friend try to get some Mama time, she came over and shoved her off my lap! I kid you not, she sat down and pushed this little girl. Now, Miss C is pretty gentle in most situations but apparently this was not the time to be gentle.
On Friday, I had to go to a work function so Miss C played with her favorite sitter (Annie) for about an hour then went to bed. Annie is a savior for us when DH is on travel. Mrs J is no longer available for sitting as she works at Miss C's school now so I had to find someone new. Annie has made herself available whenever I need including weekend days when i had to work and the occasional evening function. Its nice to be able to have someone come over so I don't have to drag Miss C around in the evenings and Miss C always naps and sleeps better in her own bed.
On Saturday, Miss C and I decided to pick up some decorations for the house (mainly window clings) and she has expended hours (literally, I kid you not!) decorating and redecorating the windows and the kitchen. I posted a video on our youtube site (see the link to the right of the posting section) and will put a picture here.
Today, I have duty so Miss C got to go into the office with me for a few minutes then we went out for breakfast (kind of a tradition of ours when I have duty). We also stopped by Kmart and picked up a potty chair. Now, I know Miss C is still only 17 months old but she hates having a wet butt. I talked to her teacher and she recommended getting the chair to get her comfortable with it. She wandered around the living room (the room she moved it to when she pulled it out of the bathroom) and played with it a lot. She even told me she had to "go potty" a couple of times so I had a little half-nekkid toddler wandering around with a potty chair like a turtle's shell! Too funny! She hasn't actually done anything in it yet but the goal is to make it comfortable for now.
In spite of all of the fun, Miss C certainly had her moments. She hasn't broken any new teeth in months so its my guess that she has some coming in. When she gets fussy, I try to help her explain what the problem is and she was finally able to tell me "hurt" and "teeth" while signing both so either I influenced that or she has teeth coming in. In either case, the fussiness was shortlived (thankfully) and she is asleep.
Well, hope you all have a great week!

Didn't Mrs J close down her daycare business so she could spend more time with her kids? Seems weird that she's now a teacher at the school. ?? Anyway, I'm glad you found a new babysitter you like and trust.
Sounds like Miss C is up to a lot of fun stuff. She is sooooo cute!
Yep, you are correct about Mrs J. Unfortunately, her family failed to take into account the lack of income when she shut down. I actually asked her that same question when she started at the school. To be frank, i think its better for Miss C to be with more kids her own age (if I have to put her in school anyway) than with just one kid younger than her. It just seems to be a good fit for her. Anyway, I'm glad we got a good sitter too!
Miss C slays me! We spent lots of time after school decorating and playing in the kitchen. She was "cooking" mac and cheese while I made dinner. She always has me taste it and always says "yum!" Too funny! We made banana bread muffins with chocolate chips together yesterday. She is a really good helper!
