school girl

try again
Today was a much better day at work. I had my teacher energy back (it helps to drink a lot of coffee) and was able to zip around the way that seems to keep all of us happily engaged and enthusiastic. While mommy made the grade, Eliana came up with about a C average. She didn't take much of a morning nap and then proceeded to babble/cry/play her way through what should have been her afternoon nap. This is the second day of nap revolt - this coming from a kid who napped for over five hours just this Monday.

Now it's after five in the evening and she's finally down, so I guess I can move her up into the B range. She's a trooper. She's just trying to get used to the changes that come with a new year. Kinda like when the kindergartners finally move up to first grade. The day seems endless to them and the teachers always talk about how hard it is to acclimate them at first. But, as children, they are blessed with the resilience and flexibility to rise to the occasion. Hopefully my little girl is on her way as well.
