Paige's First Day of Preschool

Paige had her first day of preschool today. I was there for the first half hour or so filling out paper work, and Paige went off and played; completly ignoring me. When I was done with the administrative stuff, I told her I was going to go, and it didn't phase her at all. She can't wait to go tomorrow. She was extremely tired this afternoon though. The preschool is a co-op, so I have to volunteer; duty days, and working at a Bingo night every other month or so. My first "duty day" is tomorrow taking me totally out of my comfort zone. Ella will be out of hers as well because I can't have her with me because of insurance reasons. She is going to go to Lynn's on my duty days, and will have to take a sippy cup. She took a little on the weekend for Grandma so she should be fine.

Morgan had an awesome first week of school. She loves her teacher and says that she is the best teacher in the world. I hope that she never loses that enthusiasm! I agree with her that her teacher is great, and there is really good communication between home and classroom. This week however hasn't been so great. When we got home from school yesterday the girls went across the street to visit their occasional babysitter. We were all standing on the steps, and I was holding Ella. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but Morgan slipped on the stair, and bumped Paige. I caught Paige, and almost caught Morgan, but she caught her head on the corner of the cement stair. She split it open; so it was off to Urgent Care, and she got two staples. I was waiting for them to haul me away when I got there... It's the third time I've been there with the girls for head injuries. Morgan split her head open on her Little Tikes kitchen a couple of years ago but didn't need a stitch, then last year, the day that I found out I was pregnant with Ella, and just days before we left for England, Paige fell backwards on a cement path and needed 2 staples. Morgan was much better this morning though, and although she didn't want to go to school, her teacher told me that she had a great day.

Ella saw the ENT yesterday at the hospital, and he said that everything looks great with her. Her good ear has a little bit of fluid in it, but nothing to worry about, and her nasal congestion is also nothing to worry about. So that is great news. She'll have her next hearing test in February. She was pushing herself backwards on the floor today on her hands and knees; so crawling is not far off.....

As for me, life is crazy, and I haven't gotten into a routine yet, but it's coming.... I just need to stop stressing so much about getting everything done because these days it is impossible!!!! Please excuse any typos; blogger is on crack as usual, and spell check isn't working. ARGHHH.
