Daycare

This little lady is old enough for daycare! We've actually been extremely lucky that we haven't had to take her to daycare until now. In actuality the daycare center we wanted to take her to wouldn't actually take her until she was six months so we were in quite a bind on what to do. My mom very graciously devoted several days a week to watch her on her days off work. A really great family friend, "Grandma Diane," also graciously devoted one day a week to watch her, and then we had a babysitter come in the other day so I could actually do my job.

So, she is now old enough to go to daycare and has been going for a couple weeks now. She doesn't actually go every day, which is nice, as my mom still watches her a couple days a week. What we've learned, however, is that Keira is a toy thief. That's part of the report card we got after the first day. Though it was super cute when I went to pick her up and she was sitting on the floor with a friend playing with toys and talking. It was adorable to see her interact with others. Of course the ladies at the learning center are amazing as well.Of course going to daycare means getting sick. After just two days at daycare our little lady got sick for the first time. It was so sad. It was also pretty funny too the way it happened. Scott picked Keira up from daycare and she seemed to be fine. I got home about 10 minutes after Scott did and picked her up. She had this little cough that sounded like her fake cough that she kept doing and we didn't think anything of it. Scott went outside to take Koa out and I was giving her a bottle to tide her over until bedtime in a couple hours. She started coughing again and I lifted her up to sit. That's when she threw up for the first time...all over the rug. Well, Roxy who is part of the clean up crew came running over to help out. It was at that time Keira threw up again...this time all over Roxy considering she was right underneath us. Then Koa came running in to check out the commotion and he began to clean Roxy up. They were so considerate. Poor little lady though. Her eyes were all red and it was just so sad. She still slept really well though. It only took her a day to get over it and she was back at daycare on Friday. At that time both Scott and I proceeded to get sick though Scott had it a lot worse than I did. He was throwing up several times. Yuck!

So, besides that little episode she is loving daycare and having fun with her new friends.

Here's the little lady enjoying playing some guitar with her daddy. She actually climbed into his lap to get like that so she could be in on the action. So cute! How could you not love that face.
