I'm not thrilled about this photo of me looking so white in the middle of summer but I do like the two of us together. We were camping last weekend, it was hot and muggy and somehow we still had smiles on our faces.
Daycare is working out well. Some days are better than others for the girl. I think she just needs to get used to the fact that even though we leave her, we will be coming back for her. I can't say enough about what a good idea I think it is for her to be around other kids, even other people. We might have even left it a bit long, she'll have a harder time adjusting that she might have if we left her in earlier. But she will adjust! When she gets home, I make sure I give her lots of love and full attention if she wants it. But she's becoming independent and sometimes just wants to do her own thing. I took her to a local park, on the water, and we sat on the beach for a good half an hour getting sand in every crevice, as you do. I kept thinking of how a lot of times I find myself trying to keep her clean (more my issue than anything else) when being dirty is what it's about to be a kid. So the hand goes in the mouth, sand and all, and I try not to think of the dogs that might have peed on it! lol I know too many people who are trying to keep their kids clean all the time and then they get a little anal about it (the kids) and I certainly don't want that. She's going to get anal about enough things in her life, eventually!
Last night we took an infant CPR class. It was literally the first time we had left her with anyone other than relatives (aside from daycare). I think we did okay. We were only gone for an hour and a half but it was good. She was good (or so they said!) which is really the biggest relief. We might even be able to leave her with other people someday so we can go to dinner! lol
Well, I guess that's it for now. I uploaded that photo rather than use photobucket and I am typing WAY faster than it's showing on the screen. I don't think I'll try that again! For now, I'm going to sign off. I'll write more soon.....

(Hmmm...I don't have much trouble uploading photos!)
What a GREAT picture of you and your girl. You both look fabulous!
Sounds like she's growing up and you're really enjoying her. What a darling girl. I know what you mean about sand. It's just the worst. Dirt is much easier to deal with, don't you think? But sand IS so much FUN!
So glad you posted the picture. Made me smile! :-)
She is so DARLING! (and so are you!)
Hey, I want to have a shower for ang- she says August would be best. Is there a weekend date that doesn't for you and M? It'll be a boys AND girls thing. I'll also invite my kids since they're her age.
I guess I'd better get on setting a date, eh?
G said she can't come- so I'm going to have a web cam so she can at least be there virtually!
LOL, I've found it's a lot slower to go through blogger too. You guys look absolutely ADORABLE!
I hear ya on the sand and dirt thing. I had to lighten up quite a bit when E was little. Doesn't help that my parents are very attentive and meticulous and I felt I had to try and keep up with the both of them!
Hey RG, if you let me know when you're setting the shower, can I send you a present for Ang? ;) Thanks.
Ohhhhhhh......what beauties!
You're both just too darn cute.
And sand is meant to go in strange places, dontchaknow!
;-)
Oh, Anne... you two are just beautiful!! And please... white?? You should see me--Casper the ghost over here!
I'm glad the daycare situation is working out well. I'll bet she's just got tons of friends by now and looks completely different from this picture already!
Looking forward to seeing you at the end of the month :)
