The party is over....

Oh no!  She's getting so big!!!


Well, this is my last weekend before going back to work.  I've neglected the blog this summer.  No excuses, but we have been so busy!  This was a great summer and we did so many fun things.  Vivi is at a really fun age that definitely keeps me on my toes.  Never a dull moment.

I spent the entire summer really making sure Vivi was potty trained.  Then we went on a one week vacation to Tennessee and all of our hard work flew out the window.  That's fun, let me tell you.  Vivi doesn't have accidents, she just doesn't go.  I even had to call the doctor because I was so worried.  You know what the term is?  "Toilet Training Resistant".  Just great.   So now I'm supposed to ignore it and hope that she'll figure it out in the next month.  Going back to her babysitter's house next week will be the best thing for her.  For years I struggled with sending her to daycare, but I have realized that it is actually good for her.  She desperately needs to play with some friends and learn how to play by herself sometimes instead of always with me!  We have become so close this summer, but it's time for her to have some space from me for her own good.

Maybe another reason that I'm not so worried about sending her to daycare this year is because I'm actually super excited about my new job this school year.  Plus, I'll have Friday's off!! YIPEE!  So that means I can still have a day alone with Vivi to do some fun stuff like the zoo or library.  I feel so much relief.  It's a great feeling.
