So yesterday Millie had her 1 year appointment with Dr. Sellers. She is growing well and right along with her curve. She still isn't 20 pounds yet so leaving her rear-facing in the car seat is a must. We are free to give her any foods that we want including fish, peanut butter, honey, etc. No sushi yet but hopefully she will like that as much as we do! Millie had three vaccinations and a lead test (negative result). She we quite interested in the lead test finger prick but then whaled in pain at the vaccinations. She recovered quickly when we offered her a wheat biscuit!We also had her introduction interview into her new toddler class. She has actually been in there for awhile but we haven't had time to talk with her teacher. The classroom is great and she is getting along really well with her classmates and teachers. They really emphasize routine, routine, routine in this classroom. Each day has a theme. Monday is "Messy Monday", where they usually do an art project. Today she played with play-doh. She is sleeping on a cot now and does great at it. Mat feeds her breakfast in the mornings then Millie gets lunch and a snack at school. She has a couple more Wednesday's of "Water Wednesdays" left this summer. It's where all the kids play with water toys in and out of the baby pools in their bathing suits. Tomorrow I am bringing popsicle for the class. A parent signs up every week to bring them in.
Millie will be in this toddler-back up room until a spot opens up in the regular toddler classroom. They all do the same thing so we don't mind that she is in the back up. They expect her to be in the new class around October.
I am still on overnights and will be until September. The babysitter Nicole is working out great. She is really flexible which has been so crucial to us and our wacky schedule. She is even coming to Millie's birthday party on Sunday so she can actually see her vertical! For those of you who don't know, Nicole comes after I put Millie to bed and before I leave for work so they have only got to hang out maybe one or two times in all! But the end of overnights is near and we can't wait! I think I am going to go to a 8-4 or a 9-5 Monday-Friday sked which will be really nice.
