Mother's Day Tea Party at Daycare? Nope

Today's Blog Everyday in May Challenge is to write about an embarrassing moment. I'm not in a great mood, so I don't feel like following a prompt, after finding out my boyfriend, who says he never lies, lied to me about something really stupid. Money. Enough money to buy a bag of chips. He could've just not said anything, but instead he made up a lie. A stupid lie. I can no longer say that my boyfriend doesn't lie to me.

Anyhow...

I can't really think of many embarrassing moments anyway. 

Except when I'm in public with my boyfriend and he thinks it acceptable to wear fake Crocs. That's a little embarrassing. 

I don't really embarrass easily. 

It was, however, a little awkward when this morning I decided I would actually attend the 'Mother's Day Tea' that Chloe and Madi's daycare was having. I knew no details on it, except for the start time. I expected all the kids would be around, and it would be nice to see them for a bit.

Nope.

Most of them were outside, but I couldn't find Chloe anywhere. I saw Madi playing happily. I went inside the building, hoping I would see a few mom's and their kids, ready for some tea.

Nope.

Just more kids putting their coats on to go outside, and the toddler room was in darkness - meaning Chloe wasn't in there. I did, however, see one mother hanging around. Madi's mother. Since her older brother also goes to the same daycare.

So to recap, there seemed to be no Chloe and no other mothers except the one I'd like to avoid.

I ended up just going back to my car and leaving. I didn't want to risk one of the girls seeing me and getting upset if I went to ask a worker about the party, and I certainly didn't want to hang out with Madi's mother. Off to work I went. About an hour late.

In a slightly bad mood.

Happy Friday. 

Chloe's First Day of Daycare

Yes, I'm still here. Work, combined with having no car to easily get around, combined with chores and daycare pickups = not a whole lot of free time.

I started typing this up at work, just so I could finally hop back on to the blogging train. Hah, I sound so lame.

I was so excited to see Chloe Friday night. But then she cried most of the drive home (because that's what she always does), and whined for most of the night, didn't sleep well, and whined for most of the weekend. Therefore, I wasn't as sad as I should've been to drop her off at daycare on her first day. After both girls gave us a run for our money Sunday night when they should've been sleeping, it was a welcome treat to drop them off at daycare and go to work and sit down in a quiet office all day.

Chloe's first day of daycare went well. I was a little nervous that they'd have trouble with her because of her horrible eating habits and the fact that she doesn't sleep easily when there's noise.

According to the workers, she ate all their food perfectly, so they didn't even open her baby food. Score. I'd love to have her eating more normal food.

I picked her up shortly after lunch for a doctor's appointment and they said she had already taken a 45 minute nap, which was great to hear.

I didn't get to speak to the workers when I picked her up again at the end of the day, but both of her baby bottles were empty, her baby food was still there and she was happy all evening. So far, I am happy.

Her second day didn't start off as well. When I dropped her off, she went willingly to the worker and was all set to play but when she realized I was leaving, her lip curled out and she started to cry. She was fine and happy when I picked her up though.

Playing in the doctor's waiting room

Her doctor's appointment also went well. I don't have her exact weight, because they wrote it down wrong for me (I know she isn't only 15lbs) but she's in the 15th percentile now, which is a nice change from being in the 1st-2nd percentile. She's right at the 50th percentile for length. He doesn't need to see her again until she's 18 months.

Now, we just have to get through her needles next week and she's all caught up on her one year check ups.
