Living on Tulsa Time

I have a bad habit of not paying attention to what songs are about. Probably because when they are symbolic, I am pretty much worthless. Who knows what they are trying to say? Anyways, that Eric Clapton (I think) song came into my head when thinking about writing this post.

Day 1 of Transition to Daycare: so far, so good. Libby woke up just a little bit ahead of schedule and ate. She was ready for her morning nap an hour early, but only 1/2 hour early for her afternoon nap. Which she is currently enjoying. The eating is totally on schedule, so hopefully the sleeping will follow. Also, hopefully a daytime routine will help with bedtime. Todd has been having a lot of trouble with Libby's bedtime bottle. I think she's been getting overtired beforehand, but I'm not sure what the solution is. I don't think it's as easy as moving up bedtime. We'll see what the daytime scheduling does.

Now I'm going to work on lesson planning. Gasp! Sigh!

Libby and I went to meet Shawna, who is in charge of the daycare where Libby will go in January. There were only four other children there, and one is leaving before Libby starts! I think one is starting tomorrow, though. This daycare has two locations, one for infants and toddlers, and one for preschoolers. The woman who owns it told me yesterday that she is thinking of consolidating into one location in January. I'm glad she chose the one around the corner from my school! Shawna was very loving with Libby, and I'm sure she'll have a lot of fun there!

Day 3 of napping in the crib, and Libby did not cry at all. I hope we're on our way to 3 naps a day. Yesterday afternoon she was very crabby. She woke up after 1.5-2 hours nap and ate, but just wouldn't stop crying. I let her sleep in my arms till Todd came home, then he succeeded in waking her up and getting her in a better mood. She just needed her daddy! I think she wants to take a really long afternoon nap (like over 2 hours), but getting hungry and having a wet diaper gets in the way. She took a short evening nap for Todd while I was at Bunko.
