and can I say how sad I am. I know I posted in the past my Woah’s about daycare. But ever since Mikey moved to the toddler room it has been such a GREAT experience. I LOVE his teachers. They are so great and sooooooo caring. I had known for a few weeks now that my boss was looking into moving our team to the Miramar office which is literally 5 minutes away from our house. I’ve been putting off looking at daycares because it was supposed to happen by the end of the year, not within the next few months.
I was talking to my boss today and he had told me that he was working on all of the details for our move and it might happen pretty soon. Eeeeeeeek!
Don’t get me wrong this would be a GREAT thing because I could avoid the 45min-1hr drive to and from work. So I’d get a lot of my life back in time. But that means I’ll have to move Mikey to a new daycare closer to home. I’m sure once I find the right one and once he gets adjusted to it, it’ll be a great thing. But part of me is sad because we’ll have to say goodbye to the place that was his 2nd home for a good portion of his little life.
He’ll have to say goodbye to all of his little friends. I know he’ll make new friends, there is no doubt about that. But still it sorta kinda sucks. I immediately went on the daycare hunt calling around. I have about 6 places I need to check out before Gary and I head to DC on Tuesday. I want to make sure I find “THE” place before I head off to DC for 9 days because who knows how soon the plans to move to Miramar will really happen, I need to be prepared.
Despite being in horrible pain because of his 2yr molars coming in, Mikey still managed to do some cute stuff this afternoon. While at home he went over to his little activity table and started playing with that. Turned to his daddy and yelled “YAY!” while clapping. I actually recognized that from something I saw at daycare last week. I went to pick Mikey up in the afternoon, I usually pick him up during snack time. They have all of the kids in groups and their teacher feeds them their snacks. Well one group was waiting on their snack and once they saw their teacher come close with the food they all started clapping and saying “YAY!”. I cracked up because it was so freaking cute. So that’s apparently where he picked that up. I guess they do this for other things. I caught that on video and will upload that soon to share.
The other day I learned that he can identify Mickey Mouse. Granted it doesn’t come out as Mickey Mouse and sounds more like Moe Mow but tonight I heard Mick Mow. So he’s getting close. While in his bath (he has an elmo bath mat) I asked him to show me where Elmo’s ball is, where the fish was, and of course where Elmo was. And he totally surprised me and said Melmo. Now if he would just remove that first M he’d have said Elmo. But he’s close. I totally didn’t expect him to say Elmo, but he did. It’s just absolutely amazing to see him blossom right before my eyes.
And one word O-U-C-H. Mikey is absolutely MISERABLE with this one tooth. He hardly wants to eat or really drink. I’ve seen this behavior before and good thing is I know its absolutely normal. I’m just ready for this teething thing to be done. But we are almost there. Who would have thought that we’d be *THIS* close to the end of teething. The end is indeed in sight. Hey bright side…..he doesn’t tilt when he’s cutting a tooth anymore, now THAT is good news!
Have I said yet how much FUN this is!?!?!?? Over the weekend Mikey started saying Night Night. It’s sooooooo cute. So I pulled out the video camera to capture that just because it was cute how he said it. Well I not only got night night but he turned saw the camera and said CHEESE while smiling. The kid is seriously a trip. Hope you enjoy the video as much as I have.
