I guess it has been a really busy summer or playing with Riana has just been more fun than writing about it! It is hard to believe in just a couple of weeks she will be 18 months old, where has the time gone. I started back to work a week and a half ago after being home with Riana all summer and it was NO fun. I have to say it was harder than last year because she is more aware and interactive. This Wednesday she will start her second year of daycare and staying with Ms. Alisa three days a week. I will be going in to work late on Wednesday so I can take her and meet her teacher and am REALLY nervous because now she gets upset when I leave her with people she knows so I can only imagine leaving her with a stranger!!!! I may actually cry for the first time...guess we will see!
It is amazing at all of the things Riana can do now and how much she has changed. She LOVES playing outside, which stinks for me because I kind of feel the opposite :) its a good thing we have Granna for that and Daddy! Riana LOVES music like her daddy and is constantly wanting to play the piano, his drums or his guitar, she sings when she watches tv and we play her music too. I hope that she contiues to love these things because I really wish I was talented in that area! It is so cute to see Riana play and interact with kids her age now that she can really play. Play dates with Macy are actually play dates now instead of mommy dates!
Riana talks a lot now, I know most people probably can not understand as much as we can but she really does say lots of words, the best are Mommy, Dad, Mawmaw, Pawpaw and Daisy! It is really cute how she tells us she wants to go downstairs and well to me everything she says is cute. I am really enjoying watching her learn and grow every day. She is the best thing that EVER happened to our family! I can not express how much I miss her when I am away from her but I know its good for both of us to work and be exposed to other people and things. It sure has been a wonderful year and a half!
Two big accomplishments we have had in the last month or so is some potty time! Riana peepeed in the potty on July 22nd and then poopooed on July 24th, she has not been going regularly but has gone a few times since then. She actually poopooed on the big potty on August 22nd! I am proud of her!
