New School

This past week has been an emotional rollercoaster with a few highs and lows. Here are the high(light)s:

Mattie got her first big boo-boo when she fell forward onto her wagon when she was playing. It instantly swelled and she still has a bruise. It was so hard to hold her while she was crying and know that I couldn't take the pain away. Made me so sad!

We are getting a bright new, shiny pair of two front teeth in our house. They have not broken through the gums but I can tell they are coming soon.

Last Thursday we got a very unexpected call from the Early Childhood Development Lab on the OSU campus. We had applied for Mattie to be in the 1-year-old class last year but she did not get in. They had a very last minute cancellation and were able to offer us a spot which we accepted. This meant that we had to notify her daycare and switch her to a different school in LESS than a week. It was a very hard decision and ultimately I know we did the right thing. We will miss our friends at Oak Tree Children's Academy, especially Miss Donna - Mattie's teacher. She taught her so many things and was such a great caregiver to our little pumpkin.

Today was Mattie's first day of school at the CDL and she did great. One of the major perks is that the daycare is two buildings away from where I work, so we get to walk to work together everyday. Also, there are observation booths so I can go peek in on her during the day without her hearing or seeing me. They get to take little wagon rides around the campus. It is really a neat place!

Well, that about sums up the past week in the Horton household. We hope each of you has a blessed weekend.

Much love,
The Hortons
