Time to bounce

So you are probably wondering what is up, well, we are settling into life as a family of three. I'm busy from morning to night, but never been happier.



Aliette is currently finished with all of her medications. I believe we will need to see an ENT pretty soon, but doctor is pacing visits. Insurance is being a little difficult, but I believe those issues are working themselves out. We've been home a little more than a month, when I meet her she wasn't crawling or able to hold her own bottle. Now, she is cruising, pulling herself up, and will walk when holding your fingers. She is a happy baby, with a unique sparkle in her eye. She makes me laugh often. Her favorite past time is playing in the cat's water or playing peek a boo with her sister.



Olivia is very protective of her little sister and would rather play with her than me. I'm a little jealous, but know how important this time. She hates it when Aliette takes a nap or is eating in the Kitchen, she begs for her friend to stay up or join her for whatever adventure she is having. Today we are going to our favorite place: Andies Bounce and Barn with Noelle and Rafe. A good time should be had by all.



Next week, Olivia is taking the week off from school and we are going to hit the museums. I'm dying to see the dinosaurs, kept talking about them, but I never get there, so I'm hoping next week. We have tickets for both the Discovery and Stepping stones museums as well. On Tuesday, Olivia and I will be visiting a potential kindergarten. She has gotten into a great magnet school focusing on language: all students are taught both English and Spanish. I will need to hire a nanny to wait for the bus, but Olivia is getting harder and harder to get up early. It is difficult for me to get up and ready to leave the house by 6:15, now imagine you are almost 5. I am praying and asking for discernment, because this is a really big decision.



April 12th is D-day, the day I return to work and both girls go to day care. I've been driving down the parkway daily to take Olivia to school, but we have breakfast and she is at school by 8:30, only have to shave off two hours! No problem. Wish me luck. I learned that my to do list is very long and is growing longer each day. Thank goodness summer is just around the corner. Olivia is going to art camp and Aliette will stay at day care. We'll see how that goes. Since Olivia loves anything with scissors, glue, and paint, I think she will have an awesome time. I get a few weeks off in August then begin again. Can't wait to swim in grandma's and grandpa's pool. I don't have any photos, hoping I'll get some of the girls in their Sunday best.
