Ruthie continues to do GREAT at her new daycare. Yesterday she had another great day despite the histrionics at dropoff time (and despite only taking a 45-minute nap, eek). Today, well I can't say for sure yet, but the dropoff went pretty well and when I called midday to check in, they said she was doing fine so far.
Yesterday on the daily report sheet, after the little summary of her day that they write ("Ruth enjoyed going down the slide and playing with playdough"), they added, "She is a very happy child! :) " (yes, complete with smiley face!) Seeing that made my whole day. :)
Isaac got to come with me to pickup yesterday. Since I worked from home in order to be on hand for the stove delivery, I went to get him a little earlier than usual and then we took the bus to get Ruthie. He loved it, of course. All he needs is a bus ride to make him happy, LOL.
( two recent instances of people being nice to us. And they say chivalry is dead? )
I haven't done too much with the new stove yet, but I did use it last night to boil some potatoes (which I then mashed and shared with Ruthie -- or maybe I should say Ruthie allowed me to have a couple bites ;) ) and to heat up some leftovers. And this morning I used it to scramble an egg for Ruthie's lunch. Maybe this weekend I'll actually use the oven, if the weather isn't too hot. :)
In other news, tonight mom and I are going to the Red Sox game vs. the Angels. A coworker of mom's is going to babysit. I have full confidence in her, but the kids don't really know her, so hopefully that'll be okay. I also hope I can stay awake through the whole game. ;) And tomorrow, the Corn and Tomato Festival at Verrill Farm! *drool* Any locals want to join us? We're going to go right at noon when it starts. I'm thinking Ruthie might want to try a pony ride ;) and Isaac, well, probably not but you never know. :)
