Grady has a new best friend and his name is blankie! This green and white blankie was given to him by my sweet friend Heather. Grady is truly attached to it and loves it so much. Even when I am putting it in the dryer he will see it and crawl over just to snuggle with it (wet and all). Luckily my camera was sitting on top of the dryer and I got this cute picture of him. 
This week I started working again and it has been bittersweet. I love teaching, but I miss Grady so much during the day. I even have a huge collage (20+ pictures) beside my desk of him. Call me crazy, but it helps. The other thing that helps is that he is at a wonderful daycare and we LOVE his teacher! This picture is Grady with his sweet teacher, Mrs. Ana. She has been at his daycare since it opened 11 years ago. She is so kind, patient, nurturing and loving. We love that Grady is learning Spanish there because everything Mrs. Ana says to the kids in English, she also says in Spanish. We get detailed notes everyday about exactly what and how much he ate, when his diaper was changed and if it was dry, wet or pooped in, how long he napped and if he slept well, restless and etc. How he was that day (happy, sad, not himself). What activities they did, what they are studying (the color white this week) and pretty much everything he does. I even got a call from his teacher today just to let me know he bumped his head. There are only 5 or 6 kids in his room depending on the day and I know he is well taken care of. Grady has yet to cry (except for the head bump) and seems very happy when we arrive each morning. Just this week he has already had water day, ice cream truck day and luau day is tomorrow! They really make it fun for the kids! Oh and there are 4 girls in his class, so of course Grady loves that because he get LOTS of kisses (and thankfully he's has not bitten anyone yet!) According to Mrs. Ana the girls are now coming up to him and asking for kisses by holding their cheek out to him. He's a casanova already! It makes a big difference when you know your child is happy, loved and well taken care of when you can't be with them. Thank you Mrs. Ana!
