What I wouldn’t do to wear a sundress in January! It’s like friggin’ 0 degrees here today. :-)

Anyway, those photos are gorgeous.

I am so jealous of your weather!! Today I forgot my gloves at home so i couldn’t feel my hands at all by the time I was done scraping my car after work! Brrr…

About Bug’s teacher saying that she likes to be held, I wouldn’t be too fine with it if I were you. Apparently when I was Bug’s age, a teacher told my mom that I liked to be held and that she didn’t mind holding me. It had been going on quite a bit longer than the ‘transitioning to preschool’ phase by the time my mom caught it happening and put a stop to it. These are the years where kids learn how to interact with other kids and make friends and all those sorts of things. (I’m not saying the teacher holding Bug is a bad thing, especially since she’s transitioning to a new environment and routine, just try and make sure that it’s not too much of the time while she’s there)

Our high today in MN was -5 F.

So longing for the beach…

My 2 year old has more or less stopped napping but we still have a hour of quiet time every day, aka, mama sanity time. She’ll play or read quietly in her room and sometimes even (!) fall asleep. The beach photos are amazing. Lucky you to have such a yard!!

I know it doesn’t seem like it to you, but that sounds like a great 2nd time. And it will get better. She may not have napped because she sensed how much you wanted her to do so…I’ve found that when I’m sort of stressed about them not sleeping, it’s harder to get them settled. Just a thought.

Yay for Bug and Brenda getting through the 2nd day!

You were a totally cute preggo!

- 3c in my bathroom with no heating so I’m lapping up your photos of Bug barefoot on the beach. I hope the pre school situation gets better soon, it’s only been 2 days. I remember the photo of you pregnant standing by the sea that was around the time I came across your blog.

I’m as mystified as you, but I love all the great comments from Moms who have been through this before and hope to hear that Bug adjusts soon! It would break my heart to think that my baby was shutting down to cope with a situation, but I guess that’s life and sleeping’s got to be better than a lot of other things. Hang in there! As usual, love the pics and thorough story telling!

I don’t know about the sleeping. I find with Isabelle it has to be the perfect window to get her to sleep. If she’s not tired then she’s bouncing all over the place. If she’s too tired she has a harder time falling asleep.

And the weather has been crazy. Alan and I were talking about bringing Isabelle up to see snow. With this warm weather, we’ve been joking that maybe we missed our chance this year. ;-D
