Back to work

Well I started back to work Monday and it was so hard. Sunday night was a long night to start with because Anna was up many times. Ward had to leave early Monday morning for a case in the upstate and Sallie decided to wake up at 5:00 am and get in bed with me and not go back to sleep. We made it to school by 9 and I got busy at home on the computer. Thank goodness I did not have to go anywhere Mon and I could work from home as there was no shower for me that morning. Getting back into the swing of things is going to take some time as I am sure that this is normal. I hated leaving Anna at daycare but she was only there for three hours and she did fine. She was screaming crying when I picked her up however they said that she had only been crying for a few minutes after she drank her bottle. Sallie goes on the playground and can look into Anna's room window. They said that she came down to check on Anna and when I asked her what Anna was doing, Sallie said that she was crying and Mrs. Kathy was rocking her. Sallie is my little watch dog. It is nice having one day on and one day off with work. Tuesday and Thursdays will be for story times and play dates. Mary Grace and Price came over and played today and we had lots of fun. I had a really cute video clip of Sallie saying the pledge of Allegiance that I was going to post for veterans day however for some reason it did not record so I will have to get this again tomorrow and post it. I could not believe that she was able to say the entire Pledge of Allegiance. She put her hand over her heart and said it and then started singing "I am proud to be a American". At the end of the song she said Amen. I was so impressed. She was even able to say indivisible to where I could understand it. We are going to see the Wiggles live in person Saturday and I am so excited for Sallie. I know she will love it. We have been watching lots of the Wiggles at home to prepare. We are still loving our new house and getting more settled. I finally got a picture of Anna smiling yesterday. She makes you work really hard for a smile so I have had a hard time getting a picture of a smile. I got one and will post!!! Sallie's new saying these days is "cause". When I ask her why she did something she says "cause". She also says "I don't know" a lot. She has been coming into our room in the mornings when she wakes up lately. I do not have a monitor in her room anymore since she is so close to our room and we leave all doors open. Sunday morning she came in our room and around to my side to wake me up. Her breath smelled really minty but at the time I did not put two and two together. Turns out she had been up for a while and I had not heard her. I walked into the den and she had my purse emptied all across the floor. She had every tube of lipstick open and had taken 5 pieces of gum, chewed them, and placed the wrappers neatly on top of the trash can. She had placed her wad of chewed gum on Ward's bed side table before coming to me as if she were trying to hide it. All I could do was laugh!!!! The child loves some gum and would do most anything for it.
