For everyone who has a daughter, you will absolutely love this song. My Aunt Sharon sent it to me, & Madyson asks to listen to it every night before she goes to bed. Drew & her dance to it in the living room. It has become part of our nightly bedtime routine. As soon as it gets over she says "play it again" She almost knows every word. We have listened to it at least 7 times today, and it is only 12:45!
Here is a quick video of our little Lexi rolling over. I had daddy on camera control, so it is really quick.
Sometimes little things you do mean so much. Saying something nice to someone, helping a stranger or any other little things you do on a daily basis that you may think is nothing, might just make a person's day. Showing you care goes a long way. Let me explain.
This past week has been very very stressful for me & still is. Our kids came back to school last Wednesday & with getting ready for Madyson's birthday, I have been struggling to stay afloat. I am trying to do my job & train the new counselor as well as every other thing that comes up - sometimes I wonder what would happen to that school if I was not there. Of course, all of that gets put in its place when tragedy strikes. On the first day of school, one of our students was killed jumping from her car on the way to school. She would have been a junior this year. I would have been her counselor for a 3rd year this year. Unfortunatley, I didn't get to know this special girl.
Today, another typical hectic day, started off bad. The girls & I were running late, I put Lexi straight from her crib to the carseat - pj's and all. Started putting the girls in the car to leave & realized that Drew had the base to the carseat that I had Lexi in - so had to change it. Probably worst of all, in all the rush I forgot my pump, and all of you moms who ever breast fed can understand how horrible that is!! At school it didnt get better, it was one thing on top of another. And then my phone rang (I actually got to answer it!) On the other end of the phone was a voice I hadn't heard in a long time, Michele Townsend. The principal at St. Aloysius. She had heard about our student that had passed and was calling just to tell me she was thinking about me & praying for me. I don't think she could have ever known how great her timing was & how much I needed to hear that. I was stressed to the max & that simple thought made my day. I don't think Michele reads my blog, but if anyone see's her in the next couple of days, please let her know how much that little phone call meant.
I say all that to say, you never know when kind words or a simple phone call can make such a huge impact. Next time you think about doing something & don't because you think it may be silly - do it any way. You never know who is watching! God is always working!!
Madyson has adjusted to the big building. Every morning I take Lexi in first, and then walk Madyson to her building, but now Madyson goes to her building on her own!
Today was Madyson's first official day in the "big building". She has been so excited,.....until today. She woke up this morning saying she didnt want to go to the big building, she wanted to stay in the blue building. When I picked her up today, she said she didnt have a good day, & didnt like the new building. Some teachers & parents said that she even cried. It is so hard for me to believe b/c she was so excited about it & she adapts to change so well, plus she moved up with all her friends. I have asked her several different times tonight about going back tomorrow & everytime she says she wants to stay at the blue building. She did wake up fussy today and only had a 20 minute nap at school, so maybe tomorrow will be better.
On a better note; Lexi does great at daycare. She is just a laid back happy baby:O)
