At daycare they do some art with the kids or maybe it’s always available and when a kid makes something they hang it up. When passing by I had noticed my princess’ name on a couple pieces and yesterday I remember to asked about them. We came home with a short stake of master pieces and I hung them on the bedroom wall for my Queen to see. We have plenty of space to hang stuff and it will be nice to watch her work evolve. There are drawing pads all over the house that we’re always using, soon we’ll put more focus into writing letters in between the lines, I’m happy with her ability to hold a pencil for now. I have memories from first grade where I was learning how to hold a pencil, so she’s doing well. When talking about daycare I’ve started using the word “friend” because she is used to calling the other kids there babies and we’re changing the definition of baby for the elder princess. She’s a big girl not a baby, then she will have a better understanding when we bring home a baby. The final plans are being arranged and we’ll make moves around Labor day, which will be labor day. The princess, dog, and myself will be staying near the hotel, so it will be like a baby vacation, making happy memories in the vacation house while something is happening in the background without her knowing. Then we take our new found treasure home and begin the new routine. This is the calm before the storm, each day is spent thinking what can or should I do to prepare things. What loose ends still exist? Thankfully not much, but waiting with nothing to do slows down time.
