What a Great Day

I saw 55 degrees on the thermometer (and dropping this evening)!

And, AND I lost 3 lbs and 3 inches so far with T-Tapp! I am on day 8 of 14 for my bootcamp, and this is only doing the 15 minute workout! Think how great it will be when I can add in the total workout! This is all a part of my 6 week Tappin' til Turkey Day Challenge to myself (and my sissa is in, too).

Just had to brag! So excited! Anyone interested in purchasing the book, T-Tapp is having a special promotion on October 21st. Sounds pretty sweet, I might just have to get in on the deal and give someone the gift for Christmas!

Just an update, we have secured a WONDERFUL in-home daycare provider for my clever little monkey. We knew immediately upon meeting her that she was THE ONE, and me and my girl spent the day over there on Friday. She is fabulous and loving and warm to my child, and I feel no worries about her spending 2 days a week there. I will probably have a harder time with the whole thing than she will. She loves the kids and keeps talking about how she played with them. So that is a relief. Her first time by herself is Monday, so I will be a wreck, but luckily work has become unexpectedly busy at the end of the month, which means I only have next week to get my house/life in order. I am hoping I will be too preoccupied to be too much of a mess.

Still going through the 18 month old fun stuff (read prelude to terrible two's) [and teething and sleep regressions (all of the above, as usual)]. No, its not that bad, but my sweet little lambkin grunts and whines A LOT now, and I find myself losing patience. Also with her reactions to our limits. I am trying to find that boundary between letting her experience her feelings and knowing bad feelings are OK, but she needs to do it in an appropriate way. I am pretty good about recognizing this fault, but really need to work on my parenting skills. I have been meaning to download this parenting seminar, and now seems as good time as any!

Other than that, we are doing quite well. Getting acclimated to hubby being back on sea-duty, but we will make it. I had so many blog posts I wanted to do this past week, and they have all since escaped me! Oh well. For now, I am enjoying this lovely October weather, my changing body, and my loving husband (when he gets off the phone!).
