Sent home from school.
A doctor’s diagnosis.
A rash called ringworm.
A topical treatment.

As if you were there
Missed the 2nd Annual Winter Gala?
Posted as if you were there…
Sick Day?
24 hours away.
24 hours to play.
Came home sick yesterday.
I guess I should be glad that when she threw up it was at daycare; if she needed to get sick at all.
We practiced how to use the “vomit-bucket” but wellness returned.
Happy to see it.
Banned from daycare for 24 hours, Abby was able to spend today with Grandma…keeping her busy morning to night.
Reading, babies, puzzles, painting…wearing Grandpa’s t-shirt!
Back to school tomorrow.
Rocky
A new friend was welcomed to daycare this week. Rocky.
Rocky is a brown Guinea Pig.
Abby adores Rocky.
So proud he’s in the room, she shows him off.
Still timid, she’s working up the courage to hold him.
Proud of the Picture
School pictures arrived.
Abby, loving her teacher, asked for a photo.
Today in her cubby, a special envelope.
She opened it with pride, not letting it go. The gift she’d requested.
We’d hang it on the refrigerator, I said, where the other prize pictures are presented.
Disagreeing, she immediately responded with a desire to decorate her door.
Art added. Now posted.
Halloween #1 – Daycare
School’s Halloween party tonight.
Proud to be a cupcake.
Walking in timid, never truly breaking that shell.
Quiet for the night but showing the Abby energy during the cake walk.
Suddenly the gorilla. A flinch, a jerk, a cry.
Peering around the room to always keep the scare in sight.
Halloween #1 ended.

Conference
The pre-school conference.
A validation. A learning. A chance to be proud.
Validating her love of art and babies and books.
Validating her independence.
Learning the skills that will continue to grow.
And, so proud when shown her favorite puzzle.
(yes, I took a picture of the puzzle during the conference…how sweet)
Still Sleeping
“Mommy, I can’t go to school yet, my baby’s still sleeping.”
Boot Camp
Today the first day of potty training boot camp.
A camper.
Tried on the big girl potty once per hour.
Successful twice. Stars from the teacher.
Tomorrow we move to panties and extra outfits…including more shoes!
Downtown with mommy. All part of the experience.
Big Girl Backpack
Flash forward to grade school.
As we left daycare this afternoon my mind went directly there.
Three years my future was standing in front of me now.
