Day Care: Then and Now

Charlotte didn't have school yesterday, but Daphne and I had In Service. So, we had to find something for Charlotte to do. Char could have gone on a field trip with her Adventuretime group, but she asked to spend a day at Kim's house, where she used to go to day care.

Kim is very thoughtful, and every so often she would send us pictures of what Charlotte was doing while we were at school. It was a highlight of my day. Yesterday was no exception.

Char has gone from being fascinated by fall leaves to running through them.

At Least Someone is Having Fun Today

Every so often I page through my list of old blog posts (there over 600 of them), and I'll see one that is marked as a Draft.

I'll open it and wonder, "Why didn't I post this?"

I suppose I got too busy, found something else to write about, or simply forgot. If the post has pictures or videos, I'm going to publish it. Who cares if they aren't current? I don't want to lose track of these again. Pictures are too precious.

Here's a post from April, 2012:

I sure wish I was standing at that bottom of that slide right now."

2015 update: Do you see that building behind Charlotte the two-year-old? That's where Char attends kindergarten now, and tonight we'll be there for our first parent-teacher conference. 

Time moves faster than that little girl on the slide.
