We had a snow day on Thursday. It iced in the morning and was very cold the rest of the day. The real snow didn't come until the afternoon. We woke up Friday morning to a thin blanket of snow and work. Sigh... I hate Global Warming.
Peanut had an action packed week of mom and dad. Tuesday Mr. T. stayed home with her because they closed daycare due to a death of an employee. Thursday she got to hang out with her mom all day because there was ice on the roads for 2 hours.
We had a pretty uneventful week. Peanut is doing well at her new school. She consistently takes naps, which is something I was worried about. She has started crying when I leave her there. It doesn't bother me like I thought it would (callous, I know). I want to stay with her and make her happy again, but I know that I am going to walk right back out the door and all I am doing is making it worse. When I walk in to pick her up in the afternoon, she is usually so engrossed in what she is doing that someone has to point out that I am even there.
She has taken to dragging this old toy vacuum cleaner around the house. She doesn't really get how a vacuum works, so she just kind of totes it behind her. I think she likes the rattling noise it makes. My friend bought her a really nice wooden dog on wheels whose legs go up and down when it rolls. I am trying to get her interested in it. When I bring it out, she just kind of looks at it. She has taken the rope and chewed on it a couple of times, but quickly loses interest and is back dragging around the loud plastic vacuum cleaner. So far we are getting the 50 cents worth of fun I was expecting when I picked it up at the garage sale.
