Progress Report

This month we will have our 6 month post placement review for the adoption agency. Lots to report - walking, (some) talking, daycare, and health. Jude has really taken to daycare, so much so that she's picked up nearly every illness that is common to the daycare crowd. Pink eye, strep, thrush, HFM - yuck. And yes, I've gotten to try out quite a few as well.

I've told Jude she has to make it through the entire month of August without getting sick. It's day 11 and so far so good. We've had two whole weekends without one or both of us down with something. Quite nice.

There's been swimming, the Irish Festival, and today we went to a single parent appreciation day held by a local church. Jude got to play while I had a mini massage, health screening, pedicure, and then they washed our car! So nice!

I love Fall so there are many events planned for the coming months. Next up - christening!

The 'Mine' monster

Jude has learned the dreaded word 'mine' and she is getting lots of practice using it.

We went to the super store yesterday and I had to pull out some bribe crackers. She let out a wicked little 'heh heh' , pronounced them 'Mine', and then looked around to make sure everyone understood.

It's been noted by her teachers at daycare that she doesn't share toys (or the teacher) that well. Hey, she's a work in progress!
