I woke up around 6:4 with Rachel, who was here to play with me while Mom had a call for work (even though she was taking the day off!). I had breakfast with Mom and I was excited to see snow on the ground for the first time this season. Mom and I braved the elements for a trip to Target where I got, among other things, new mittens. They’re so awesome. I love them! I pretty much refused to eat lunch and then I took a decent nap (almost two hours).
After I woke up, we hung out in my room and read books all snuggled up in the rocker. I kept asking “where did the snow go” and then suggesting that perhaps “Mommy wipe it off?”
Grandpa Yagan came over around 3:00 and we had fun, though I had a couple meltdowns. Mom left around 4:30 for a meeting and I was alone with Grandpa until Rachel came at 5:00. I wasn’t feeling great and had a couple more meltdowns with Rachel before falling asleep.
On Tuesday morning, Mom woke me up at 5:15 AM (yikes!) and I was in a surprisingly good mood once I actually got up and around. Mom gave me legit pigtails and off we went. I figured out that the reason we got up so early is because it takes so much longer to get to school when it’s snowing! I was the first child at school, so I hung out with Miss Karen in the infant room. I had a good day at school today, and was teaching all my friends how to do things. Mom picked me up early (before 4!) and we had a long drive back home in the snow. Mom didn’t feel well, but we still had a good dinner and a bath before bed.
On Wednesday, Mom woke me up at 5:30 and I was in a much worse mood. We had a decent ride to school, but I didn’t have a great day at school. I even got in trouble for taking my shoes and socks off and for being less than gentle in touching my classmates. The ride home was really slow, so Mom made an exception and let me eat my O’s in the car! I guess we weren’t going fast enough that I might choke! When we pulled in the garage, Dad was there waiting for us. He even jumped up and down when he saw me!
On Thursday, Dadwoke me up around 6:00 and got me ready for school. Mom and I drove in together and I had a much better day at school. I was very sweet and helpful. I even helped pick out the books to read at story time. It was another slow ride home, but when we pulled in, Dad had dinner ready for us. He had to go to a dinner, so he didn’t get to spend too much time with us. Mom and I had dinner, then I had a bath and went to bed.
On Friday morning, Dad made breakfast for me and then I made a new friend — Julie! Julie is Aunt Claire’s friend from elementary school who now goes to college in Chicago and lives near she us. She came over to babysit and play with me while Dad worked. We had so much fun together! Then right before lunch, Dad ran me to the Doctor’s office to make sure my ear infection was all gone. It is! I even got my second h1N1 vaccine, so I should be all good to go. Of course, I took my doctor’s kit with me, which made my doctor laugh.
After lunch I took a nap and then Mom was here when I got up. Mom wasn’t feeling great, so we just hung out and played. We even fixed our hair in matching pigtails! I talked to both Grandma Droste and Grandpa Droste and Aunt Sarah on the webcams.
Last year I was hanging out with Grandma Droste!
