The sounds of silence....

As I type I am sipping a herbal tea to quench my thirst from the long walk Rose and I just went on. Rose is in her crib and I am catching up on last nights episode of Dancing with the Stars. Where is Paige you may ask? She is at a new class--Jack and Jill. I will have 4 hours a week (Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30-11:30) to do whatever I want. With only a baby in tow compared to having the 2 kids, it really does feel like I can do whatever I want. What will I do...the options are endless...shopping, exercise, vegging, laundry. Anything that can be done in 2 hours. And today is super easy as Rose went to sleep after our walk and Mike is home. I can just leave her here while I go to pick up Paige.

When I dropped Paige off she was a bit wary. A random instructor came out and asked the parents for their contact info sheets and told the kids to come in and drop off their backpacks in the bin. I think she was a bit confused by the unfamiliar face, but the teacher told her to give me a kiss goodbye, which she did, and then go in the classroom. She immediately spotted another teacher who she knows and loves-- "Miss Amy", and ran in with a big smile on her face and sat next to her at the playdough table.

Time to pick her up and hear all about it!

Update: Paige seemed to have enjoyed her time in the class. She played with 2 girls, jumped on a trampoline, sang "the more we get together" and "twinkle twinkle". I think that's about all I got out of her. When I asked if she ate her banana she told me she had one bite of it and then threw it in the garbage. She ate 4 arrowroot cookies, probably opened her banana and then snack time ended.
