changes

We have been going through a lot of changes here at the house and with Kate these last couple of weeks. The biggest change has been moving Kate to a new daycare here in our community. Instead of a 35 minute commute it's literally a 2 minute trip. Today was day 4 and I think we are seeing improvements all around. She seems so much more agreeable in general and certainly at the end of the day. I'm not sure if its the place, the people, the lack of a long boring drive, or perhaps its that her Pappa is in Toronto for a few days. Whatever it is - I'm thrilled.

We have also been getting ready for baby #2: had rooms painted, built furniture, done loads of laundry. Other than not having our bag packed, I think we're ready!

Kate has been practicing her big sister skills too. Today I had the baby bouncy seat out and we put her doll in it. Well she kissed the baby, soothed the baby, bounced the baby, put a blanket over its head, then dragged the seat all around the house and finally she sat directly on the baby. I guess it was at last, her turn to bounce. Though somewhat terrifying, it was a hoot watching her.

Though still looking a little sparse, I thought I would share some of the photos of the nursery so far:

Please note the bed is soon to be Kate's, we're just letting her look and play on it for a bit before we introduce one of the final changes and actually have her sleep in it. Oh that and I need to get some bedding for the awkward sized small setting.

And here is the little Miss herself. This photo was taken tonight after I finally convinced her that trying to stand and surf on the frog was not a good idea. She is a wild child. Happy weekend to everyone. Lots of love, Aimee
