Working Mom problems

I am a working mom, I don't have the privilege to spend my day with my baby girl and for the most part I have gotten pretty used to it...but not DR. APPOINTMENTS.  I have been lucky to so far not miss one appointment and I try really hard to schedule them at times I know I will be able to make.

Chloe turned 15 months recently and with that comes an check up and shots. She is on a delayed vaccine schedule so we haven't had shots since she was 10 months, however for 15 months she is scheduled to get 3. There was a bit of a schedule conflict at work and I thought I was going to have to ask my mom to take her for me. I wanted to cry at the thought. Yes, my mom is wonderful with her...but ...she's not me.....I already miss most her day, most her special moments and I want to be there to be the one to give her comfort after the mean Dr. makes her cry. I want to be there to hear everything the DR. has to say and ask all the right questions. I want to be there to make sure that only the shots I want are given (this is the hardest one.) I couldn't find peace in the decision of having someone else take my baby to the DR.  well...Luckily I will be able to taker her after all but to be honest I was taken by surprise by just how much the thought of not being there for her bothered me.

Tooth care!

My daughter is now 15 months old (well...in 1 day and 4 hrs) I have been thinking of the right time to start brushing teeth and realized that I was actually getting a late start in the process! Thank you to the ladies of the Sept 12' baby board on baby center for making me realize...they have all being brushing teeth for awhile!

I was a bit afraid to try it since Chloe is very independent and I assumed would just try to do it herself and not let me do anything BUT I was wrong.

In love.

I am now in love with "Tot School", or maybe I am in love with the look on my Chlo bears face when she is trying to figure something out...or just in love with Chlo bear period. Either way, with only 2 days of Tot school I have already had great fun and so has Chloe.

On Friday we headed to Michaels and stocked up on supplies. I must apologize to anyone that had to witness me acting like a 5 year old at Disneyland when I found plastic trays. I have seen the trays pop up on all the websites I have been visiting for inspiration so I figured they are a very important part to the process and thought I was going to have to order online and...wait....for shipping. One thing I think you will quickly learn about me is how impatient I can really be. It's awful. Ask my husband. So finding the trays without having to wait made my day! I told my husband I was going for a few starters and ended up with a cart full! Still I must say I was pleasantly surprised with the $$ I spent as I expected a far worse fate.

School is in session!

Well, As you may have (or not..) noticed I have changed the name , look and pretty much the entire purpose of this blog.  I will now be using this website to talk about my TOT SCHOOL! THAT'S RIGHT! this lady right here ::points at self:: is gonna start Tot school with my Chlo Bear! Now I won't pretend to know what I am doing cause I have no real clue but hey, you can join me in my journey to figure it out ..you in?!

We already do education toys around here...Let me show you..
