Back Into Our Routine

It was a weekend full of no naps, failed attempts at potty training and a whole lotta whining and crying from Miss Finley.  Finley does not like being confined to the house all day and she certainly proved that this weekend.  After a night of fun at Grandma's house on Friday, it was especially hard for Finley to come home to boring Mommy and Daddy.  Today, we headed out early in the morning (I actually had to set an alarm) to get our application for the fall at "Max's School".  Max goes to a school just blocks from our house and we hope that Finley is able to enroll there.  It is our first choice as far as schools and I really hope Finley gets in.  We were able to apply during the returning students because we are on the waiting list, which I think should really help our chances.  It puts us in the first pool of applicants instead of the third.  Finley asked if there would be Christmas Music when we got to the school.  What a memory!

We came home and had some breakfast then it was back out the door to tour another school.  I don't think we will bother applying, it was a little far and the director basically said if you are two and new, it doesn't look good.  Finley did great during the tour, which I hope continues tomorrow because we have another lined up.  After the tour, we headed straight to Gymboree, which is always a great time for Finley.  She had so much fun running around with the kids, she got some of her pent up energy out.  We finished up with lunch at Chick-fil-a and some more playing in the toddler town they have set up.  Finley gobbled up six nuggets, her fruit bowl, over half of my fries, a whole bottle of milk and when we got home, she asked for a snack.  So I gave her a banana and she ate the whole thing.  Goodness!

After all this busyness, Finley napped for nearly two hours.  Let's hope tomorrow keeps her as busy and back into our routine.  We are visiting baby Sydney, hopefully it won't be too cold.  They are calling for snow on Friday!!!
