New Beginnings

As most of you know, I finally found a job!!! Yah!!! I am going on my third week of work and it's been wonderful! It's been nice, not only for the 2nd income, but for both Taylor & I to get out of the house and have some adult & children interaction. Taylor started at a FABULOUS daycare and things couldn't have worked out better!!! The daycare is just down the street from my place of employment, it's new, beautiful and the teachers are WONDERFUL!!! Taylor has formed a tight bond with Ruby, who fixes the kids meals and Taylor refers to her as "Grandma"...I still find it quite entertaining that Taylor refers to everyone as "Grandma", even my friends who are all in their early 30's...sorry girls, you look marvelous even though Taylor thinks of you as "Grandma". Taylor has really seemed to enjoy her time there, and on a few occasions, I have had to bribe her to get her to go home...bubbles, cupcakes & cookies have been my savior on a few occasions. The evenings have become challenging...Taylor is always exhausted and now fights everything we try to do with her...dinner, bath, bedtime, etc...it's been very stressful, but I am hoping things get better as we continue on this journey. Here are a few pictures from the first week of work & daycare, AKA school!


Taylor ready to go meet her new friends. She did great on her first day!!!


Ready to go, Hello Kitty backpack filled with her "support system"...extra clothes for the occasional accident, her favorite blanket & deer for nap time, etc...


A quick photo of Mommy & Taylor ready for another day of school & work.
