Let's hear it for Thorsday

[dreemkin]

What's the word!?

[dreemkin]

Making a Penzeys run today! Then probably lunch with my parents. H is going to Cubs game tonight so I'm on my own for swim class tonight (and bedtime).

PS: DD1 already overturned DD2'S highchair...with her in it. I was "this close" to catching it too. Great way to start the day

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin yikes! Hope DD2 wasn't too scared! Also jealous you have a penzeys local!

Thursday is laundry day. G and I are watching Hairspray and dancing. He's so cute stomping his feet and saying "dance dance!"

[dmorgendorffer]

DD is really into dancing lately. Last night during dinner I was illustrating how our nearly blind dog had rolled down the stairs using my arms for my husband (the dog was fine), and DD thought it was a cool dance move and dropped her tortilla and started dancing in her highchair.

We got the email that she'll be moving on up to the toddler room at daycare on August 1st How'd she get so big?

Also, I feel like we should get a gift for her teachers but only one of them has been consistent the whole time she's been there so do I have to get gifts for all of them? I have no idea whats appropriate.

[agm04]

can i play even if i'm not here regularly? i have a little spare time at work today.

dreemkin oh no is everyone ok? stuff like that is so scary.
lilyelayne that sounds like the best kind of thursday! minus the laundry i guess. lol
dmorgendorffer they're growing up way too fast. how many teachers are there? i lean toward gifting them all or none of them. or you could do cards for all of them, and a little extra something (like an actual gift) for the one who's been there the whole time, and maybe just give it to her (or him?) privately.

i'm so unmotivated at work. i've been really bummed lately about not being home with DD, and then i feel guilty for feeling that way when i have a good job. my mom worked in the school system for most of my childhood, and having her home on our days off and summers was so much fun. makes me sad that DD won't have that. at least it's thursday.

dreemkin, how is your swim class? I'm hating our right now.

[dreemkin]

danitaec We like our swim class but mostly because we like her coach. We've had a few others ones due to make up classes or schedule changes and she didn't seem to respond as well to them. As long as we can keep getting Coach Louis then we'll stick with it. I like her swim school's philosophy though. The kids move up at their own pace no matter how long or little it takes. We pay per month.

And yes, Annie was scared of the tumble at first but she didn't get hurt as far as I could tell. I kind of caught it enough to not let the whole chair weight fall on her. She sits on a chair that attaches to our kitchen chair.

Tell me you guys get this reference and I'm not too old...??

[lilyelayne]

dmorgendorffer yay for toddler room! No idea about daycare gift etiquette
agm04 sorry you're frustrated with / uninterested in work right now. Working to provide for your family isn't something your daughter is going to hold against you

Of course I get the reference! And I lol'ed when I saw your meme.

LO moved up last week. They moved her up about a month early. I was worried since she's on the tiny side but she's done great. And sleeping on a cot! She's living the sand pit and coming home filthy everyday. Loll

[dmorgendorffer]

mishka29 they are going to start her napping on the cot to get ready for the transition! They asked if that was ok and DH just said sure, good luck.

We are hoping we can switch rooms, a few other kids she has been with since she started have already moved up but they are in a different room than the one they are planning to move her to. I don't know if she actually cares, but it seems like it would be an easier change if there are some familiar faces in her new room.

I didn't give gifts to DS's teachers when he transitioned. But he switched just before his birthday. He takes great naps now at daycare. I think it's the peer pressure and there's nothing to miss out on.
