It's actually a pretty big deal in our house since she has come pretty close to not making it this far at all... She had a couple "incidents" this past year with some aggressive behavior, but thanks to these lovely books, we seem to be over that hump:
My favorite is the cover of the "No Biting" where the little girl is holding the little boys arm under hers so she can bite his finger... How appropriate!
My mom will be watching both kids when I go back to work, and Memorial Day week is also the first week Mother's Day Out is on break until the summer session starts, so she will have her hands full all 4 days! And of course Jason will too on Fridays by himself...Some work on the exterior of our house starts today, which is exciting, although I'm sure the loud noises will totally disrupt Chloe's nap, and thus disrupt our whole day... And it seems like ever since we confirmed all the work we're doing, everything else has fallen apart... Last week my car wouldn't get out of park at the friggin' Costco gas station pump and I had to be towed, while all the other customers COULD NOT seem to grasp that they had to drive around me, even with my hazard lights on... Also, shout-out to Esme's boyfriend, Aaron, who talked me off the ledge when I called him, demanding to know why my car wouldn't get out of park!
Then we picked out floors this weekend, and lo and behold, I went to pay a medical bill for Jeremy's birth, and my magic health insurance card that works like a credit card was maxed out... And will not be replenished until January! So my mantra for 2009 will be "When it rains, it pours!"
And keep in mind I'm on unpaid leave right now, and taking an extra week just as we find this out was just perfect timing! :) Although just as I typed that, Jeremy smiled so big in his sleep, so it's all worth it for the extra time...
Well I have to get ready for Chloe's graduation, and I'm crossing my fingers she doesn't push any of the other kids off the stage! :)
