Daycare begins........

When Maelin was 4 months in the womb (I am sure there is a more scientific way to phrase that) we enrolled her on the waiting list at the Goddard School of Early Childhood Development (AKA Daycare). The school was just being built and was scheduled to be complete in January. Much to our luck, the construction of the school had fallen a few months behind schedule and didn't open until May.  This delay forced families who were returning to work earlier to find other child care options, thus opening up some spots. We got the acceptance call mid May and were very happy and relieved we didn't have to start hunting for alternative child care.

Last week we began to "wean" Maelin into the school before I returned back to work full time this week. She participated in two half days and for the most part did very well (she however wasn't a big fan of "tummy time bootcamp").

I also hung out with Maelin lots last week. It was a hot week so we hit up the toy section of target and got a baby pool. Below documents our fun week.

All smiles getting ready to swim (Note: the trendy one-shoulder swim suit is compliments of her Aunt Jenny)

 She apparently needed a nap before her swim and passed out on the lawn while the pool was warming up (rough day I guess)
