Great Day!!

Today was a great day!  So many positive and fun things happened.

Madelyn had her follow up appointment with the surgeon who put in her tubes.  Both ears were clear!  Yippee!!!!  This is the longest that Madelyn has gone without an ear infection since early December.  So far it's 3 weeks and counting.  Hoping the tubes continue to do the trick.  Madelyn also had her hearing retested today.  She was improved from the first test which was great to hear too.  We don't have to follow up with the surgeon for another 6 months.

Then I took Madelyn to her new daycare for a couple hours.  We decided to make a change and switch daycares.  We weren't happy with some of things going on at her current daycare.  We know it's the right decision, it's just made me sad lately to think about everything being new for Madelyn.  She has friends at her current daycare and loves the teachers.  I keep telling myself this is just the first of many changes in her lifetime.  We loved the teachers at her daycare and we will miss them......although she was going to be moving rooms soon so we would miss them anyways.  The new daycare is more on our way to work so that will work out better as well.

Madelyn did awesome!!!  When we got there, the room was getting ready to go outside for water day.  It was perfect timing as Madelyn just walked along with all the kids and went outside.  She found a truck and started playing.  They said she got a little sad when I left - which I expected and don't blame her as she didn't know/recognize anyone.  That didn't last long and then she was off to the water and making new friends.  Madelyn is very social so I knew she would transition well.  She ate lunch with the class and then I picked her up.  She was all smiles when I got there and looked like she was having a blast.  She hugged one of the other girls and waved good bye to the teachers.  I really like the lead teacher in her room and felt so comfortable there.  Huge weight off my shoulders and hopefully Madelyn likes it too!

Tonight we celebrated our great day by going out for burgers & fries.  We stopped and got Madelyn some mozzarella sticks for her treat but she wasn't as into them as the last time.  She always seems more fascinated by people watching.

After we got home she played outside.  We have so many toys but tonight her favorite was daddy's pop glass.  Gotta love the simple things in life!  It was truly a great day all around!  Here are a few pictures from tonight.  Love my happy baby girl!
