TGIF and other stuff

I signed up with facebook a few months ago after my sis-in-law sent me an invite. I thought for certain I'd be about the only person my age on. But I was pleasantly surprised to find many college friends, and church friends on the site as well. I posted a link to the blog on my profile because I didn't think I'd be on facebook as much as I blogged. Interestingly enough, several friends have commented about the blog and they're own interests in adoption. I never realized how many of my friends were interested in adoption. It's a wonderful thing to hear, especially since it's so close to my heart.

I'm not sure I've mentioned that Emmett started a new daycare this month. We loved the former daycare and were so sad to leave, but the commute was making my usually happy little kid - a exhausted little nightmare! So we made the decision to switch to one closer to home. Now, the 10 minute drive is perfect, even though I'm less than excited with the new daycare. It's a little less structure than I'd prefer, and a few more 'movie days' than I'd like. But he's being well cared for. He's in preschool three days a week, and those days are either up or down. Twice this week he flipped at me leaving him. Just when I was thinking we'd be ok. Ugh

I got a message on my work voicemail from the old daycare. They had a pile of Emmett's stuff, crafts, etc and a card from his friends (i.e. classmates). I stopped by on the way home one day to pick it up, and sat in the parking lot close to tears after reading the card from his friends and teachers. He was so well loved there! His little love triangle between Sidney and Reagan was now broken. Reagan wrote (well the teacher wrote, but Reagan said) "I love you, I love you again, I love you again." Sidney said "I love you, Emmett". And Emmett's best bud Ian said "I'll miss you very much, cause you were my friend". Aw - even makes me tear up now!

So a new chapter of less commuting and more home-time has begun, and I'm sure the adjustment of everything is why I'm seeing a few new sides to Emmett. I remind myself that he's only 4, and in attachment, he's only one and a half. But boy, and I glad to say TGIF! Now I can enter the weekend, where I'm sure we'll all freeze our buns off if we leave the house! Oh well, it's winter and as Emmett says "I not like winter so much, Omma". Me neither kid, me neither!
