1. Last Friday was Special Person's Day at day-care. My parents came to hang out with the girls. We followed it up with lunch for Ellie, Grandma, Grandpa and me at Ellie's current favorite place, "Old McDonald."
2. Nick was on his bike trip thru Sunday, so it was a "girl weekend"! My best friend from high school, Brooke, came over Friday night for dinner and a movie. On Saturday the girls and I hit up the mall. It must have worn them out, because Neve slept from 12:30 until 5 and Ellie slept from 2 until 5. And I had to wake both girls up so they would still go to sleep that night!
3. Ellie and I had "Ellie and Mommy Night" on Saturday night after Neve went to bed. We painted Ellie's toes (with stickers and everything!), ate popcorn and watched a movie! I told her she could sleep in my bed with me if she wanted. Of course she did. About 15 minutes into bedtime she decided she wanted to go sleep in her own bed instead.
4. I got a call from day-care on Wednesday about moving Ellie into the next room up. This is the oldest classroom at day-care, and Ellie still has almost 2 years left before she can start school. While I am really excited that they think she is ready for the 4 & 5 year old classroom, I am nervous that she will become bored in a year. But, as another mom with a daughter in a similar situation said, it isn't fair to hold them back now for fear that they will be bored later. Nick and I still need to meet with the teachers to go over curriculum for now and next year, but I am pretty sure Ellie will be a "Hot Rod" by Halloween. Oh, and yes, she has only been in her current room since the beginning of June!
5. Thursday I got a call that Neve will be moving up to the next room! This one I knew was coming, and she is completely ready to move on to more advance learning. We will miss Miss Allison from her current room, though. I may have asked the Director of the day-care if we could just move Miss Allison with Neve! Both of the girls are growing up so fast!
