Emme's First Weeks of School
Well Emme (and I survived) our first few weeks of school! Emme goes to a fabulous daycare that does so many wonderful things with the kids. They follow a curriculum and the first week's theme was Bugs. Emme has painted several times where a part of her body- arm, heel, hand, palm finger was dipped into paint and then was pushed onto the paper to make different shapes and pictures. She has created a number of paintings already. I will have to start her portfolio! She also does other sensory activities such as mirrors and texture things. They read books and hear music everyday too. She has tummy time at school and has started to roll over both ways. I let her roll around on our floor but she gets licked to death by Tom and Jerry. Tom and Jerry are more excited to see her when we get home and insist on "cleaning her." She has transitioned very well and is eating and sleeping there well too. And we are very excited to say she is still sleeping through the night at home. I thought maybe this would not continue since we no longer giver her 1-2 ozs of formula in her bedtime bottle but she must be so tired. As for me school is good. The kids really missed me and I am happy to have them back into our routine. Pumping at work is a chore since I do it three times during the school day. I hope to keep up my milk supply though. I made it through three weeks so far without having to go into my reserves in the freezer or supplement with formula. Hopefully I can continue to do this.

That is really great that the transition is going so well. And great job to you for keeping up with the nursing. I can imagine that would be very difficult. You're an awesome mama!
