When Claire's school schedule first changed all I could really think of (selfishly) was how MY schedule was going to change. My shopping, my coffee dates, etc... Yes, mama time is important but with Paige getting bigger and more mobile my coffee dates were going to change anyways. In the past few weeks we have really enjoyed our mornings together. Claire goes to school 3 days a week from 11:30-3. We have every single morning together now. Running errands is a little less (and so is my spending) and we don't always make it to the grocery store (thank goodness Daddy is a good grocery shopper and does about 90% of our shopping now) but we do play more together. I am not the best "player" either. I don't like to sit and play for long. I admit it! I get antsy and bored but lately I am trying harder and finding myself enjoying the play times. It is strengthening my relationship with Claire too. We did a girls day just the 2 of us to the museum one Saturday. We haven't done that in forever! I even got talked in to a "magical" pony (see above pic). Mercy she loves that thing! How could I say no? If you squeeze it's ears it neighs and makes a magical sound. Pretty dreamy!
Now, I just have to figure out how to socialize Paige more. We are trying the Little Gym Wednesday morning. Since Paige naps during Claire's school times it's hard to do anything alone with her. I am so excited to take her to her first mommy and me class. Claire will be hanging in the lobby while we have our class but she gets to watch a movie and chill. I assumed they wouldn't let me bring Claire so I hadn't called before now to inquire about classes. So glad I did! We can start working on Paige's motor skills!!!
