The daycare has told me that Lily is ready for potty training. She's used the potty almost everyday this week and we have started using it at home a little too but will go full force this weekend. This is very exciting for Maman and for Lily. She's pretty proud of herself when she uses it.
Sorry, no pics to go with this post but I'm sure you can understand why not!!
If the weather is nice we may go to the pumpkin patch so stay tuned for pics next week.
Have a great weekend.
Cutie Pie!!!

FALL IS HERE!
Hi All,
Hooray! for me. Lily seems to be embracing daycare. We no longer have meltdowns when I leave and the daycare employees have told me she's pretty happy during the day. I guess she figured out it's better to enjoy it than fight it. Now the challenge becomes at home where she is much more clingy and wants to be held most of the time. This becomes pretty hard when trying to make dinner or change but I'm getting pretty good at distracting her during these episodes.
On the weekend, we had to make a trip to the doctor. Seems we have a chest infection and needed medicine. She spiked some high fevers for a few days but we took cool baths and a bit of Advil and got through them. I have to give her credit, she wasn't very cranky considering she wasn't feeling well.
Since we were feeling better by Sunday afternoon, we decided to go apple picking. It was a beautiful day and we had lots of fun. Lily loved to pull the apples and run through the field. Now Maman has tons of apples. Guess I'll be making pies this weekend. Unfortunately their pumpkin patch wasn't open so we'll have to go back for those later in the fall.
Here are a few pics of our apple picking adventure. Enjoy your week.
Love MC and Lily
Ready to pick em apples!

DAYCARE - WEEKS 2 & 3
Hi All,
Well we are at week 3 at daycare and fingers crossed, all is going well. We had a few rough days last week but Lily is slowly embracing being there. This week I've even gotten a few waves and smiles when I was leaving in the mornings vs crying like last week and she is usually playing when I get there so there are rarely tears anymore. Yeah!!!! I'm sure we will have moments of regress at times but for now I am thanking my lucky stars that she's not constantly crying.
Lily did come home with a red swollen eye yesterday and they think she got stung by a bee or wasp while being out on her first "Fire Drill" with the school. Poor thing looks like she has a shiner but she's not complaining about it so it must not hurt. I've attached a copy but the picture doesn't really show how red and swollen it really is.
Other than that, we went to the zoo a few weeks ago and the Brampton Fall Fair last week where Lily entertained a crowd of people dancing to an "Elvis" impersonator that was performing. She looked pretty cute and at one point turned to me and said "Maman dance" so guess what. I did!! it was pretty funny.
Before I go we want to say "Feel Better Nai Nai" who broke both her ankles last week poor thing. We miss and love ya and will come visit soon.
Luv Lily and Maman

DAYCARE - WEEK 1
Hi All,
Sorry we've been away for a bit but it was a busy and stressful week and on top of that both of us have been fighting a cold.
Lily started daycare on Tuesday and for the first day she cried (well screamed) for the 3 hours she was there. That was very discouraging for Maman but as the week progressed she had less frequent meltdowns and by the end of the week she was there for 7 hours and was eating and even sleeping at the daycare so there is hope that she is adjusting and will eventually love it (or at least tolerate it). I have to admit she is much more clingy when we get home but that's to be expected. We'll start again next week and play it day by day.
Since I'm going back to work Monday, I will be posting less frequently but will try and continue to put updates when we do exciting things (or I have some time).
I hope you've enjoyed following our journey these past few months and from the number of comments I have gotten from many of you it seemed liked you did. We've enjoyed keeping you up to date and this will be a wonderful journal for Lily when she grows up.
I unfortunately don't have any pictures to add today but we plan on visiting a pumpkin patch or two in the fall so will post pictures when we do.
Take care and love you lots.
