New Routine

Ok...we have yet ANOTHER morning routine. Emma has begun going to her 4th sitter in 11 months..yes...you read it correctly...FOURTH!!! The first sitter wanted to go back into the classroom, the second sitter wanted to be more available to help her child who was having trouble in school, the third sitter was a temp sitter (for 3 months) while we waited for an opening in the 4th sitter's house. WHEW...makes me tired just to think of it. It also makes it look like Em is a challenging child who is getting kicked out of multiple places. I think that ALL 4 sitters (plus T and I) would agree that Em is a piece of cake kiddo. I need to keep this statement for when she is 13 :)

So...I digress :)

Our morning routine has yet changed again, but this time it is for the better!!!! Wanda (sitter #4) feeds Em breakfast, lunch and a PM snack...WOW...what a difference that makes!

Our old routine: T dresses Em, I feed Em breakfast, sometimes throwing together a lunch for Em, myself, or both of us and RUSH out the door---usually forgetting to do something important.

New routine: T dresses Em, I get a cup of coffee, Em gets her milk and a book and we read together. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I would not trade our 30 minutes of hanging out for anything! Yes, we could get her up a bit later, but then we would just be rushed trying to speed out the door to get to our destinations on time.

Notice the sippy cup in the cup holder :)

I love you Emma Grace and I will cherish these moments always!!!
