Yesterday I had a really sweet moment in what was otherwise a VERY trying day. Maya, my second oldest, gave me her first kiss! I've kissed her a million times and always ask her to kiss me back, never expecting anything in return, but yesterday Maya gave me that darling, open mouth kiss babies give you before they know how to smack. It was soooooo sweet! And it made my day.
Today, Maya had her second milestone: she ate our table food! She's been on table food at home for a while, but her mom was a little uncomfortable letting her eat table food at day care. I asked her yesterday if it would be alright to let Maya at least eat mashed potatoes at day care, since they're soft, and her mom said yes. In fact, she gave me permission to give Maya any day care food that's soft (but absolutely no hot dogs!). I'm real happy about that because Maya's been eating baby food since she was, well, a baby. Now she's a toddler and she really needs more substantial fare at day care as well as at home. I also hope the extra "chewing" Maya will be doing now will help her finally cut some teeth; she's over a year old and is still toothless!
I don't know what other milestones Maya has in store for me. She's walking, can say "baby", and can wave bye-bye, so it seems that the only thing left is for her to get some teeth. But who knows? I may get back to work today and have Maya show me something I never expected. Those kind of moments are the best things about working in day care.

Hi Maverick. I tried to go to your frien's diaper cakes website but kept getting that "the page cannot be found" page. I hope your friend hasn't given up. I'm sorry I didn't see your comment sooner, but I've been busy lately and didn't get back to my blog until today. Anyway, tell your friend to keep trying. If he gets his website back up, I'll be glad to stop by.
