My first full day was quite busy and exciting! I started it off by completing a not so full night's rest. I even had a very vivid dream that the little girl came into my room to wake me up and when I arose to her waking me up, she ran away screaming. When I finally woke up at 8:00am I had to question if that truly happened or not. I got dressed, but some make up on (I don't know how often I'll be doing that in the next few months to follow so I figured I should do it as much as possible now) and went upstairs to greet the family. The young girl was not awake so I spent some time with the mom and the precious baby. After eating a delicious bowl of cheerios I went upstairs to wake up the spunky 2 year old. She responded by saying "No" and went back to sleep and with that I decided that we have more in common than I had previously assumed. Once everyone in the house was awake we headed out for the days activities that included a trip to the dollar store to get some awesome art supplies. We then headed to an awesome place called Junglerific which is a huge jungle gym and arcade geared toward small children. There are small toddler and baby toys around, as well as bouncy toys for the smaller children. It was awesome and I totally enjoyed playing with my new companion who constantly said "Again Eeesha! Again!"
We left Junglerific and headed home as it was nap time. After nap time was lunch and lunch was followed by a surprisingly easy departure as mom left for a doctor's appointment and to run a few errands. This was it... the test run to see how the next 6 months would go. There was the typical testing of limits and normal 2 yr old meltdowns, but nothing was too hard to handle and no blood was shed (just a few tears). I am confident that the days that follow will be hard, but hopefully no bloodshed or broken bones will be experienced. I am SOO grateful that God got me through this day and we'll see how tomorrow goes.
Blessings....
