Man...I miss this little girl so much it hurts....my stomach is aching. Is this normal? I've now been gone three days which is just too long... Luckily, I leave this evening and can't wait to get home to see Miss Lola (of course, she'll probably be asleep when I get home...bummer). Right now, I'm so excited that the ache in my stomach has actually turned into butterflies due to the anticipation of finally seeing Lo when I get home. Oh man...home sweet home....but only for the weekend until I take off again.
Clay has really enjoyed having some "alone" time with Lo this week. I think they've bonded even more. He says she's been great this week....eating a ton which is good b/c she went through a phase where she wasn't eating much just drinking milk. So, thank goodness that problem is behind us....I wonder what the next one will be....
So, I haven't talked much about Lola's new school....it's a Montessori school. We actually love it and Lo loves it too. Our only complaint was/is that she is the oldest in the class and the other babies aren't quite as active as her. Also, there aren't many babies in the room...this is good news b/c she gets lots of special attention from the teachers that she loves oh so much but we feel she's not getting enough playtime with other kids (specifically older babies/kids). At Lola's old school in Dallas, she was always the youngest and we felt she learned so much from the "older" babies. We've been okay with the current situation b/c they have lots of fun activities throughout the day (one being art class and Lo always comes home with finger paints on her clothes...BTW....hard to get out) and she moves to the older class at 17 months...only a couple months right?!?!? Anyway, Clay told me yesterday that they've started letting Lo go play outside with some of the other kids. YEA!!! So, it looks like they're starting to transition her over a little early. YEA again!!! I hate to even say this b/c I do love her current teachers and they are so good with Lola but I REALLY want her to have an opportunity to hang out with the older babies/kids. Well, it looks like that's starting to happen. It makes me happy!!!
Ok, gotta finish up some auditing and then head home...Woohoo!!!

It was so much fun seeing Lola last night. She is lots of fun and very smart. She told me "123 and ABC" several times. Not to mention what a natural dancer she is. You are doing a wonderful job as parents!
