Monday blues

Back to Monday again... even when weekends are quiet, they still go by way too quickly.

As a continuation of the Discovery Channel adventures, I've seen a baby iggie in the house a few times. Yuck. It runs away from me so I've had no luck getting it out the door. Haven't seen it for a day or two though, so I'm assuming the little guy found its way out.

AK had another successful ballet class. She practically ran into the studio without a backwards glance towards me. She still gets distracted when she sees me watching, or when she sees herself in the mirror, but she is otherwise very focused on the teacher and the assistant, and on the moves she is supposed to be copying. She loves it!

Today is Day 8 of the challenge and I'll have 9 classes done after I go tonight. I'm contemplating doubling up a couple of days this week so that I may be able to get through the 30 days without needing one babysitter... wish me luck!

When I picked up AK on Friday, I stopped to admire all the artwork on the wall where the teachers display the projects for the week. The kids painted stoplights, colored in an apple, practiced the number 1 and made alligators out of paper bags. The teacher said that AK is doing very well with these sorts of projects. The only thing that worries me now is that they are starting to learn Spanish words for things and I will not be able to help AK with any of her Spanish homework!!! I may have to learn it along with her!

I finally unpacked my last suitcase from summer holidays yesterday. I purposely unpacked the bag all over AK's room so that I HAD to clean it up. In doing so, I finally found the harmonica that Baba had given to AK. Yay! I was sad when I couldn't find it previously as it is a pretty thoughtful gift.

I got a lot of other stuff organized too... put some stuff aside to give to friends, and other stuff to donate... pretty boring stuff yesterday! xo
