Lana's First Day at The Dayhome

It sounds like it was a success. 


We got to the house and asked Christy if she wanted RW and I to hang around for a little bit to get her a little more comfortable with her surroundings, she said that if I'm okay to just to leave her. So we did (reluctantly). I guess she didn't cry after we left and was playing with the kids and toys really well. Christy thinks she's "a sweetheart", I guess Christy sneezed and Little Lana piped up with a "bez you"!


Sleeping was a little bit of an issue (rightfully so, new people and new surroundings) Christy ended up putting Lana down beside the couch where Christy was and ended up sleeping for 1.5 hrs. Apparently she didn't want to eat, but she did have a big breaky so I'm not totally shocked. 


In the afternoon they all went to the park, like Lana always does - she took some time to analyze the situation before joining in. When we stepped through the door she was happy as can be (she didn't even run to me for a hug) so she must have had a good day :) Christy thinks that after a couple of days there may be more tears once she realizes that this is going to be a routine... I'm just super proud of her. I was expecting a puffy-eyed and booger filled hot mess, I was pleasantly mistaken!


Good job little girl!!

We have a Day Home!

I'm excited about it! She goes Wed & Fri :)

I'm looking forward to giving RW some one-on-one time!

Lana the Fairy

Nan bought this for Little Lana a while ago but she made it very clear she wasn't interested in it... today is a different story!

Look Who's Joining Us...

At the kitchen table!!

"Cheeeeeeese"

RW gives the "really, another picture?" look while Lana hams it up.

"Mommy, take a picture of my sandwich"

After so many click she started repeating "I see?"

Day Home Hunt

I have mixed feelings about this but I know Little Lana wound benefit from being in a day home. Colin's pointed it out numerous times, her and I are attached to the hip and I cater to her every need. We're hoping that a couple days a week in a day home will expose her to new things without the security blanket of myself or RW being there.


We were talking about how easy it is to introduce RW to new environments but we both agree that Little Lana will be one of those kids that sits there on the ice whaling because it's something out of her comfort zone.


I hope we're able to find someone like RW's first caregiver, Patty, she was amazing.

Photo Dump

This is RW's winter hat (bought it so that he could have the same hat as Grampie) and Lana loves it... because it has buckles.

This shirt is too cute for words. A little dog in a jail uniform with pink "xoxoxo" lettering.

I'm not actively trying to train her, but she's becoming more aware of when she soils her diaper so every now and then she'll go sit on the potty just to get use to the seat.
