This month Maddie started a new day care, Young Explorers. It only took 2 days before she was walking right in and not even clinging to us or remembering we were dropping her off. she was still crying every day , 8 months later at the last place we went to. I know she's a little older but, it's amazing when you have found the right place, the right people to try to take your place during the day... it makes a HUGE difference. Madison is so little they as us every day, "are you sure she is 2 yrs old. She is so tiny." Two of the days they teach preschool and already Madison is showing an interest in wanting to recite her abc's. What an exciting thing to see her want to learn and to feel her excitement. At a young age she already knows the importance of repetition. After reading a book with her, or singing a song or singing the abc's, she'll say "again!". She loves to learn and she wants to learn. This month Madison is sleeping out of our bed, not quite out of our room just yet, but our little plan to help with her transition worked! She loves to be near mom and dad. She now has her own little bed in our room; It's actually her crib matteress that has been made up for her on the floor of our room, but she'll sleep there all night. She is still waking up 2 to 3 times thru the night for a bottle so we need to figure out how to get more in her belly so she is more full.
