You know you want to go
I'm getting an early birthday present tomorrow. Nik and I just got tickets for the Britney Spears concert!!! I am sooooo excited!! We've been to a few of her concerts in the past and she really puts on a good show. I can't wait for Friday night!! We are leaving Christina with my step mom. It's a big step that I'm leaving her, but I know that it will be good for both of us. Yay! I am just so excited, lol!!

Daycare Evaluation
When Christina first started daycare, I said I would give it some time before fully evaluating the situation. Christina has now been going to daycare for a couple of months. She has missed a handful of days due to illness, but overall I think she and I now have enough experience to decide how we feel about it.
It is obvious that Christina enjoys her time at daycare. I know she enjoys the interaction with the other babies and with the teachers. She likes to sit at the table and play with all of the toys they have, she likes the different swings they have and she likes her crib there as well.
Christina also seems to enjoy her daily routine on the days she goes to daycare. She gets lots of cuddle time with Daddy in the morning while Mommy gets ready. Sometimes when Mommy is taking longer to get out of the house, she even gets to watch a little Baby Einstein. She gets to take a nice nap in the car ride over or she will just enjoy the scenary on the way. I always get to spend time with her on my lunch break, which she always seems happy about. When I'm not there, there is always something entertaining going on, so she never gets bored. Then, before you know it, I am back at the end of the day to nurse her and get her ready to leave.
It is a huge relief that Christina loves daycare. I am also grateful that the daycare is just up the road from where I work. I get to see a lot of her on the days when she is there. It is very reassuring that I can run over at any time to see her.
Spending more time at the daycare also means that I get to know the teachers a little better and I get to see how they work. I feel pretty confident that they will and are taking good care of my little girl. Would I prefer to leave Christina with a family member? Of course. But that doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with daycare. I still get a little pain in my stomach when I have to drop her off on a day when she hasn't been there in awhile. I miss her and sometimes I hate to leave her. But, as long as they are keeping her safe and happy, that is what is important.
Today I was over there on my lunch break and Christina was being adorable as always. We were playing on the floor and I snapped a few pictures with my phone. Take a look . . .

Tell me the rest of the year will be better
How is 2009 going for you? It's not going so great for me and by "not great" I mean it has been pretty much awful.
Let's see what we've been up to in the Kalos Household . . . well, you know that Christina had RSV then double Pneumonia, and don't forget that Nik and I were sick at some point also. Christina has also had a couple of colds.
On top of that, the house has been in shambles because we are trying to get it ready to sell. For some reason identifying the problem areas, somehow made more problems. What went from a little crack in our bathroom ceiling was eventually identified as water damage and only day’s later half of our ceiling is peeled away, hanging down and leaking water. The best part is that the Condo Association said they are not responsible and I have to work it out directly with our neighbors above. These neighbors, by the way, just moved in a few weeks ago. Can you imagine how you would feel if I came up to your unit and said "Hey, I know you just moved in and we haven't even met yet, but you have a leak that has damaged my whole bathroom and now you are personally responsible for fixing it. Thanks!"
Oh and guess what, the best part of 2009 is that I got food poisoning! Oh yeah, it was great. I have never been so sick in my life. I just spent half a week holed up inside my house, barely able to move. But not on Monday, oh no, on Monday I was running back and forth to the bathroom every fifteen minutes. You don't even want to know the details, believe me!
But ok, so we haven't been a healthy household and wanting to move is a whole lot more work than I had hoped, but I do have to admit, we've still been pretty damn lucky. Because, let's face it, we do have a pretty damn cute baby.
