Sixth Word

I only count a word as a new word if she says it many times. There are many words she's said once or twice, such as "this" and "kiss," but we've both heard her say "hat" enough times to count it as her sixth word. She says it in reference to Paul's baseball cap. If I put one of her hats on, she takes it off immediately; the same goes for barrettes in her hair. However, she will wear her Daddy's hat for an extended period of time. She also uses it to play peekaboo, which is still one of her favorite things to do!

Today will be her first time going to Sarah's in 4 weeks. Yesterday when she saw Sarah in the hallway at church she started wailing, which was the opposite of her usual reaction to seeing her. Nadia also cried when I dropped her off in the nursery although thankfully she only cried for 1-2 minutes this time. I guess she's going through a stage of not wanting to be separated from Mommy. Hopefully she won't cry too much at Sarah's today. She'll be spending 7 hours a week with Sarah - from 2:30-6:00 on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'll drop her off, and Paul will pick her up. On Thursdays (the other day I am teaching this semester now that I'm up to 75% of a full-time load) Paul will come home by 3:30 to be with her. Wednesday mornings I'll be going to MOPS once a month; Nadia will join me for that. Wednesday evenings I have choir rehearsal at 7pm. That's my schedule for this semester in a nutshell.
