Then I got home to see the girl I'd been away from all day, my "big girl," after her first day of "daycare." Granted she doesn't actually go to daycare, as she is watched by my aunt a few days a week and my mother-in-law the other days, so she's just with family. But still, it was her first day away from mama... so we'll call it "daycare".
You can find how I made that quote board in this post.
Quite a change from her first day of daycare one year ago!
 |
| What a chunk she was! He he! |
Then we made up for being all day by playing with the dogs outside, with her toys inside, and then with her food at dinner. Check out the fun we had...
 |
| "That's my dog!" |
 |
| She loves the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song! |
 |
| We go up the slide right? |
 |
| Time for some books. |
 |
| And the stacking rings...I call it her "brain teaser". |
 |
| That's my girl, always thinking, always wondering. |
 |
| 12:30 PM Lunch: Vegan Chili and Pasta, inspired by "Cincinnati Suburb Chili" from Vegan on the Cheap by Robin Robertson (pinto beans, TVP, tomatoes, spices with Tinkyada rice spaghetti noodles, topped with fresh onions) |
 |
| I mixed and matched the noodles for this dinner, Avery got dibs on the spiral ones, while we had spaghetti. She's getting better with her fork lately, so that's been fun to see. |
 |
| "So I made a mess, what cha' going to do about it?" ( : |
 |
| Dessert: Chocolate Chip Blondies (actually made from chickpeas) from Chocolate-Covered Katie topped with this sugar-free, vegan frosting. |
See you guys next week!
