A Whole Lot of Nothing

I haven't had much to say lately. Not much going on. Ella was sick for a week, and for the last two weeks we've been busy figuring out her schedule for the week. She starts her new school on 10/4, and I am so excited! It's so much easier to get to... not to mention she will probably have both shoes on when I pick her up in the afternoons! She is saying a lot of new things right now, and desperatly tries to say her abc's... though it sounds more like "a,b,6,o,6,h,b,6." What can I say, the girl likes the number 6.

Daycare.... enough said.

I have had it with Ella's current daycare. Her last day if Friday, and she starts a new one two weeks after that. I am so excited!

I was pushed to the limit when I picked her up yesterday. They were outside playing, and when I walked out, she was standing at the gate crying. No one around or checking on her. She had one shoe on, and a days worth of snot all over her face, and running thick from her nose. I don't think her nose had been wiped all day. And no, she didn't lose the other shoe on the playground. It was inside. I guess they just couldn't be bothered to put it on before she went out. Who does that?? Who let's a kid go outside and play with ONE shoe on?? Not to mention, the day before when Brent picked her up, they TOLD him that she hadn't had her shoes on all day. So she had been outside, on the playground, barefoot. No wonder she keeps a cold. I was so upset I was on the verge of tears all the way home.

Moving on to other things.... that move I mentioned? Probably not happening LOL. We do this. Talk it up, decide on it, then switch gears. The housing market just isn't in the place we need it to be in order to sell our house.

What is Ella up too? Getting into everything, as always. Throwing tantrums, getting in trouble, etc. I put her in time-out the other day. She kept standing up trying to walk off, so I would sit her down, explain what was going on, etc. This went on 3 or 4 times. So finally, she sat there for about 30 seconds.... I glanced over, and caught her trying to CRAWL off. All while watching me out of the corner of her eye. Sneeky kid. I was immediatly reminded of how we are created with a sinful nature. It's amazing the things God shows you through your kids.
