Crazy Week - Day 1

This week promises to be quite busy for us, so Aaron and I spent most of yesterday preparing for the days ahead. I work every day from 5:45am-2pm and need to be up by 4:30am. Aaron has to get the kids to daycare for 6:30am and then drive to Algoma for 7am. We picked out clothes for the week, packed backpacks, made lunches, chose mom and dad clothes, made lots of lists, etc. to prep for today's early morning. Thankfully, it went off without a hitch! I was early to work even after letting Ellie out to go potty (minor miracle!) and Aaron had the boys to daycare right on time!

Max was a little nervous about staying in his daycare room, but he didn't cry! Liam thinks daycare is "awesome!" and immediately began playing with his friend (and 4k classmate) Carson! He rode in the daycare van to school at noon and then took the bus home this afternoon. This schedule is pretty crazy for the boys as well, but I'm grateful that they will have the summer at home with Aaron.

I picked Max up at 2pm right at the end of his nap. He was lying flat on his back on his little sleep mat with his pacifier (I couldn't send him to daycare without it...I think I'm more attached to the idea of it than he is) and his stuffed puppy. It was adorable. But, you could tell that he was upset and he clung to me when I came in. He was just tired and couldn't sleep in a new place just yet. I think he will get used to it before too long. Even so, he said he's excited to go back tomorrow so that is a good sign!

Ellie made it through the day in a quite sizable pen in the living room. She peed on her pee pad appropriately and hadn't escaped or shredded anything when we finally got home. Max has been saying "I missed you so much, Ellie!" and "Sweet dog!" while hugging her all night long. So cute.

My job is going very well and I just started computer training this week. I love it so far and can't wait to get out on the floor (even though I'm a little bit nervous). I have a great trainer and learned a lot in just one day. I hope it continues to go well.

Just an update on us! Hope your week has started out well!
