Snow Day

We had a snow day today. I was working from home to avoid the roads but daycare closed early so essentially we were home for a snow day! Here are pics of how we spent our day. Otis loves the snow so he was outside playing in it. Breeze hates the snow and cold and wind and outside in general so she slept under the shelf all day and David watched the snow fall from the window :)

As promised . ..Leprechaun photos!

He's Moody!

Chaz and I were trying to get St. Patrick's Day pictures yesterday so we can get cards made and sent out in time for the big day. Above is David protesting the prospect of posing for pictures. Below is just seconds later, and he looks like he's happily marching through the family room.

I'll do a full picture blog later but don't want to ruin the surprise of some of the pictures. Stay tuned for the McCutie!

For my dad . . .

My dad retired recently so now he has more time on his hands and he has started following this blog. He says he's looking for recent pictures of his grandson so here's for my dad. Two new videos taken today . . .David was more into action today and not ready to pose for still photos. I'm hoping he'll cooperate this weekend so we can get the St. Patrick's Day photos to send to Great Grandpa.

Daddy's been gone

So Chaz left Friday for a 4 day hunting trip to Texas. He got home after David was in bed Monday night and left again Tuesday morning for 2 days; this time to Atlanta for work. It has been really quiet around here and I think David is missing his daddy. Daddy comes home tomorrow and I plan on making myself scarce a little bit Saturday for Chaz and Daddy to hang out and then Sunday we can have family time.

New Day care update #2

Yesterday was a MUCH better day than Monday. I don't feel compelled to call anymore as he's adjusting well. The ugliest part of the day they say is naptime because by 11:30 he's so overtired that he's cranky and can't fall asleep. He naps on a mat so he tends to wander around the room rather than sleep so they are rocking him to sleep now (probably even as I write this). He'll adjust. The best part for me was when I walked in yesterday his teacher was there and the first thing she said was "He's so cute!". Yeah, we already know that.

New day care update

David's first day at his new day care was today. They wanted us there at 8:30 so we left the house 45 minutes later than normal, not the best way to start his day as he was already confused. We got there and his teacher decided to not come in today and they weren't quite sure what to do with David so that was also not a good sign. If they would have called me and told me his teacher was a no show, I wouldn't have brought him in.

He started in a room with another kiddo from his former day care center so that was fun. I put David in front of the fish tank and he seemed to like that and when I left he was trying to play with the other kids. When I called at 1 I was getting mixed reviews about his day, I think they were trying to tell me what I wanted to hear (although I wanted the truth). I picked him up at 4 (a bit early) and they said he was sad today.

Hearing my son was sad all day broke my heart. He was happy to see me but in the car he scowled at me and he was mad. I just really hope that each day gets a little bit better and I hope that his teacher is there tomorrow.
