Natalie started daycare on Monday and seemed to have a decent day there. Kaija dropped her o
ff at 8:30am without tears. Getting up in the morning, showering, and making sure Natalie is prepared for school was tougher than leaving her there. Not that leaving her there was not tough...it was, but mornings are pretty hectic now. The teachers seem very nice and have now told us, two days in a row, how much they love Natalie. We help pay their salary so they probably say that to all the parents. Josh picked up Natalie after work at 4:30pm. She was very happy and smiling at one of her teachers so Josh felt more at ease with the whole daycare thing. Josh and Natalie came home and played for a long time, both inside and outside, before giving Natalie her nightly bath. After one last feeding Natalie went down at 8:30pm and we did not hear from her again until 6:45am the next morning. Daycare seems to be wearing her out...which also makes us feel better.
A couple of notes: 1) Grandpa J is out of the hospital. He has already started back with his daily coffee shop trip.
2) Natalie enjoys sitting up but the jury is still out on the Bumpo seat. Her enjoyment lasts for about 10 minutes.
3) Wedding number 2 is this weekend. One of Kaija's college pals is getting married on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The wedding is on the bay so Natalie will probably get another dip into the water.

I like how you call daycare "school" too! :) Glad Natalie is doing well there. If I didn't love you guys so much I would hate you that she is sleeping through the night! I think daycare has the opposite effect on Sydney!! Looking forward to a fun weekend with you all and glad to hear Josh's Dad is out of the hospital.
I can't get over how much Natalie and Olivia look alike in certain pictures, like long lost twins. So needless to say, we think Natalie is the cutest kid in the world (of course since she looks like Olivia, that means Olivia is too).
