Tomorrow's The Day















Yikes. Tomorrow is the day I have dreaded most since March 5th. Addie is all packed and ready to go and I was able to talk to Miss Tina for a bit today which helped. The other nice thing is Addie will be the only daycare child she has this week (she also has her two boys home for this week). This gives me a lot of relief in knowing that Addie and Miss Tina will have a week to spend some quality time together and really get to know each other.

While all is well and prepared on Addie's front, that is not the case for me. I spent a day at HPA this past week and my room is a disaster. Many of you have heard me complain about this already, so I will not continue.

On a positive note, we had a great final week of summer. One highlight was our twice weekly swimming date with Erin and lunch with Brian at Cedar Lake. Addie was even able to get a nap in at the beach for a few minutes! Then Friday we had lunch with Mandy, Henry, Brie, Ava, and Cassie at Turtle Bread - yum yum. Then we went somewhat skeptically to Underwater Adventures and had a great time! The girls LOVED looking at the fish all around them and were kicking and screaming with excitement. It was so cute! Then Friday night we went to the State Fair where Addie was exposed to things like corndogs, bacon on a stick, and Sweet Martha's cookies. She also made her television debut with Sven. When he was introducing her she grabbed the mike and it went straight into her mouth. It was adorable!

The last bit of good news is Addie is becoming more receptive to bananas, and is enjoying sweet potatoes :)

Addie will do great with Miss Tina! For you, it will not be so easy, but you will persevere. You are doing a triathalon this weekend, for God's sakes. Clearly you are brave!

We saw Addie's TV debut ... :) ... and it was very, very sweet and amusing! She was right for the part ... and you are a very sweet family! We were so delighted to happen to witness the event!

... Hope Addie had a WONDERFUL very first State Fair!

Thinking of you today Ang ... One of my best and wisest friends told me - as I cried and sobbed buckets of tears when my sweet first borne went off to college : ) - "These things are right and well ... but certainly dont happen without emotion!"

Ahhhhhh the joys of motherhood!

Extra hugs ...
