Nap Time

Cole showing off his charm
Annabelle talking on Daddy's phone. She will say hello, then babble some random things, say good bye and close the phone - scary!

Annabelle has been in the toddler room since January and have not had the negative reports that we use to get her last month or two in the infant room...I think that might be coming to an end. I go over to the daycare everyday to feed Cole on my lunch break. When I go at 1:00 Annabelle is usually sleeping and the caregiver are sitting in the hallway working on lesson plans or drying the dishes from lunch. When I am done feeding Cole Annabelle is normally awake. Today is the 2nd time that one of the caregivers has seen me in the hallway and told me what our sweet little girl is up to. Apparently she has been waking up first and while the caregivers are in the hallway she walks around the room and pokes her friends in the nose and either says "up" or "all done". You can look at this two ways: one - she should not be waking up the other kids in her room or two - someone should maybe be in the room so when she wakes up they can find something productive for her to do. I am hoping they will figure that out. I still find it hard to believe that she is the first kid to do some of these things - but daycare just seems to be amazed at what she does.
Cole is doing well at daycare. He is still the only boy in his room and he has been charming all the workers. I hear almost daily about how cute his smile and dimple is. I think he has everyone in that room wrapped around his little finger. He does have favorites when it comes to people - it is kind of funny. There are nights at home when he is in a mood and him and Brian are like oil and water. No matter what Brian does Cole will just not calm down, if anything he will scream louder; I can usually pick him up and he will quite down. Daycare told me the other day that there are times when he gets mad that there is one girl that will try to calm him down and he will scream louder, then the other girl will pick him up and she is able to calm him down.
At least our kids keep daycare interesting!
