All You Need Is Love...or COFFEE!

This past week was one for the record books. After having a really sick kid last week and barely getting ANY sleep, I found it even harder this week to catch up on it all. First, we had a "falling out", if you will, with the director at Lauren's previous daycare. It's a long story and a bit messy, but we decided NOT to send her back there after her sick week last week. So, that meant we had to find someone to watch her all week.



My awesome brother and sister in law asked their daycare provider if she had room this week for Lauren and it turns out she did! Lauren got to spend all week with her cousins Boone and Brody at Angie's house and she had a blast! On Monday, they started out with their daily trip to the bus stop (down the street from Angie's house) to get Boone and Ian on the school bus. Lauren was fascinated by this, and even kept telling everyone that Boone rides the short bus...and that she does too! Ha! I think they even made a trip to the doctor's office for Angie's little boy who was sick. Apparently she did great and had a ton of fun because she wouldn't stop talking about it all night.



Tuesday morning when she woke up she was all about getting to Angie's so she could walk Boone to the school bus again. This kid has never been so excited to get to daycare in the morning! It was a piece of cake getting out the door! I can't remember if it was Tuesday or Wednesday that they took a field trip to the high school to listen to Angie's daughter speak...but she had fun doing that too. They also went to the library one day and got stories read to them and got to check everything out.



Friday was THE day though. I knew Lauren was going to be sad to leave because she'd had so much fun all week. Angie's neighbor has a "monster" truck of some sort, or maybe it's called a mud bogger, but Lauren got to sit in it and "drive" it. OMG! She was soooooo stoked!
