I'm starting a new tradition and calling it "Flashback Friday" as a highlight to our week. Hope you enjoy!
This was a big week in our home! We made a decision to send Madison to preschool starting in August on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We went back and forth about a million times, just ask Ryan - I changed my mind pretty much every hour. But, we do think this is best for our family and for Madison's development. It will give me a lot more flexibility for my patients, which is important to provide. And, hopefully it will allow me to be more "present" when I am with Madison. I know you working moms understand, right? The constant tug to juggle work, even when you are home? I am constantly struggling with notes to write, doctors to talk to, letters to write...all while trying to enjoy my time with Madison. Whew - so, here's to hoping this is a good change!
Madison enjoyed lots of time with friends this week. We had a pool play-date on Monday and today I left her at a girlfriends with a babysitter so we could go shopping! The babysitter had four kids, age 16-18 months. Amazing:) We shopped all morning at the enormous consignment sale and totally stocked up on fall clothes. See....
Step 1: wash and throw on the floor to sort
Step 2: sort and organize
*I am such a summer-time girl, but have been really enjoying stocking up on fall/winter clothes for Madison. I mean, how cute is that snowman shirt? It wasn't actually from the consignment sale, but I did just get it for her*
Step 3...put away!
* Please don't judge my shelf storage...it is a work in progress. Today was just getting hangers organized by size and season!*
As a side note, I have come to really appreciate consignment sales. When I was pregnant I was very apprehensive. As it turns out, they are fantastic! You have to be patient and willing to sort through, but you can find amazing things. Plus, I think I'm addicted to the thrill of the find! There are still some things I feel strongly that I want to buy new for her, but for play clothes...consignment sales are the best!! So, new mommies-to-be, give them a try.
