5/14/12

We had a very busy and kind of crazy morning so personal notes will be limited today (as I didn't have much time to closely observe and take notes).

The morning started out with me not setting my alarm close correctly, so I didn't get up in time to put away the old toy exchange and make sure the new one was totally in place.  I hate that feeling when I wake up and have slept in.  It is not the tone I like to set for the day.  : (  I did rush around and get things moved OUT of the big room, but just piled, not put away and I didn't have time to ensure everything was out that needed to be and in its right spots.  Missy brings out the new stuff, but doesn't always know where everything goes and frequently doesn't do the stuffed animals and dolls. 

We had a surprise monitoring visit from our food program sponsor, which isn't a big deal, but I have to say I was a little flustered just because I didn't have things as tidy looking as I like and so forth.  It also means that I have to find the paperwork they need to make sure is up to date and show them where the fridge and freezer thermometers are so they can check for appropriate temperatures... 

In addition to those extras we were trying to begin the new round of intensive potty training!  We have the two who are already 100% trained and the four we are working with now...  Hmmm...  Alayna went three times this morning (but was wet two of them also).  She also pooped in the potty.

The kiddos really enjoyed putting stickers on their papers for art today and worked hard to get some all over their papers.

So we survived the morning -- late start, unplanned visitor, extra trips to the bathroom, one peeing accident on the floor, one whole bowl of spilled cereal on the floor, quite a bit of Monday transition tears and frustrations, several other minor mishaps and all!  : )
